1Pet.3:10 For, "He who would love life, and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
3:11 Let him turn away from evil, and do good. Let him seek peace, and pursue it.

Is judging peace? Well, it can end in peace if the judgment is with life in view, as our own judgment is by a God's of love. However, something hard for many to understand because of the secularization of God's word the bible, two thousand's years after Christ walked the earth, judging with death in view is not peace. It is a violent war in defeating and killing ones enemies by words and/or by implements of war. Many Christian's have deceived themselves into thinking God authorizes them to kill their enemies by judgmental words, thinking themselves God's prophet upon earth.

1Cor. 11:30 For this cause many among you are weak and sickly, and not a few sleep. 11:31 For if we discerned ourselves, we wouldn't be judged.
11:32 But when we are judged, we are punished by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Titus 3:1 Remind them to be in subjection to rulers and to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, 3:2 to speak evil of no one, not to be contentious, to be gentle, showing all humility toward all men. 3:3 For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 3:4 But when the kindness of God our Savior and his love toward mankind appeared, 3:5 not by works of righteousness, which we did ourselves, but according to his mercy, he saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.

But one might noted for the record, of all the apostles of Christ not one recording themselves as God's prophet upon earth, instead we find them calling themselves slaves, and/or some translation no liking the word slave, servant of God. Christ disciples, and apostles sought peace, but how? When a person discards the burning issue of the first century Christian's found the Greek scriptures, which they were formed around, before the secularization into making all things biblical fit into our modern day world, without that issue known a person cannot find the truth.

The issues was the Christ Vs. the Law, this one issue left unchecked would polluted the entire anointed body of Christ into a corrupted yeast kingdom within less than one-hundred years. When we say law it encompasses any laws that supplant the law of Christ for the body of Christ, God one authorized law for His spiritual temple.

Matthew 13:33 He spoke another parable to them. "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast, which a woman took, and hid in three measures{literally, three sata. 3 sata is about 39 litres or a bit more than a bushel} of meal, until it was all leavened."

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

Seeking peace for the body of Christ factually was seeking Christ righteousness and the law of Christ, that is, not judging with inferior laws created for the wicked. In other words, those in Christ were sinless, if the body fell back into back biting and hating one another through judgments of laws/yeast for the wicked they would kill the very thing causing them peace in Christ who had united them without judgment or condemnation by God's Spirit. What would each one chose to seek? Peace the same peace they were given by God in not having their sins accounted against them, or go back into the laws for sin to judge the speck in their brothers and sisters eye?

Matt. 7:1 "Don't judge, so that you won't be judged.
7:2 For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you.
7:3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but don't consider the beam that is in your own eye? 7:4 Or how will you tell your brother, 'Let me remove the speck from your eye;' and behold, the beam is in your own eye?

Rom.8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.{NU omits "who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit"} 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

1Tim.1:9 as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine;

Doing good towards all would be bring them into Christ having them freely forgiven as they had been. Teaching the truth of mankind's fallen position into sin and the Good News of the Kingdom, which is Christ deliver us from death into eternal life by his own life. This is not an easy course nor is it a course the world understand, for all in the world are under judgment of sin and death promoting judgment of the flesh through a works of law, rather it be the laws of nation, bible, a religion and/or the place they work, all is mandatory proof of performance by self-merit. But not those under the law of Christ, their merit has been freely given them by God's own love, because they could never earn enough self-merit to enter into God's Kingdom, or His association. Someone had to pay the price for them. If these brothers and sister lost this one point they would fall into judgment of each other by works of law into would was the best, accounted by self-merit in preaching, teaching, intellect, looks, or whatever else gave the person a seemingly a better position in their flesh upon earth.

Galatians 5:1 Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Romans 3:20 Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

James 4:11 Don't speak against one another, brothers. He who speaks against a brother and judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge.

James 4:12 Only one is the lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge another?
