Peace be with you

Peace be with you was the greeting used by Christ after he rose from the dead.[1] It is commonly restated by Christians in worship services and otherwise, sometimes shortened to simply "peace". It is a personal "peace", meaning mental and emotional strength, rather than a collective and physical peace, meaning an absence of war.
The original Greek term for "peace" is "eirene", which means "harmony" even though it is typically translated as peace in the New Testament passages.
