Summary/Abstract: The subject of the article is the teaching on peace found in the Letter of James 3:18, which is investigated in the light of socio-rhetoric. In the first part, the innertexture of the maxim in 3:18 is examined: first its syntactic structure and interpretative possibilities, and then its location within the rhetorical argument of the letter, together with its semantics resulting from the context. In the second part, the article analyzes the intertexture of the maxim: first its relationship to other texts, and then echoes of concepts of peace found both in the Old Testament and in Greek and Roman culture.
