Peace

мир is the standard term, but is also the ordinary word for ‘the world’ and for ‘political peace/absence of war’ (a historically loaded concept in Russian, given 20th-century war memory). Romans 5:1’s relational, judicial peace with God through justification must be distinguished in context from both senses; покой/спокойствие (calm, tranquility) are too passive/psychological and must not substitute.
