The Greek in James 3:17 that is typically translated as «peaceable» in English is translated in a variety of ways:
- Central Mazahua / Yatzachi Zapotec: «not start fights»
- Mezquital Otomi: «not be contentious»
- Rincón Zapotec: «live peaceably»
- Eastern Highland Otomi: «know to reconcile the hearts of our fellowmen»
