Peace

мир is the standard term, but since 2022 the word carries exceptionally heavy, immediate real-world weight in Ukraine as the opposite of the ongoing war, dominating news and daily conversation. Romans 5:1’s relational, judicial peace with God through justification must be carefully distinguished in context from both the ordinary sense of ‘the world’ (мир, a homograph) and the urgent political sense of ‘peace’ (ceasefire/end of war) that readers will inevitably bring to the word.
