Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book II

Wherefore, O bishop, when you are to go to prayer after the lessons, and the psalmody, and the instruction out of the Scriptures, let the deacon stand nigh you, and with a loud voice say: Let none have any quarrel with another; let none come in hypocrisy; that if there be any controversy found among any of you, they may be affected in conscience, and may pray to God, and be reconciled to their brethren. For if, upon coming into any one's house, we are to say, "Peace be to this house,"[241]

Constitutions of the Holy Apostles Book III

And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you."[45]

Recognitions of Clement II

`But it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city or house.'[26]

Clementine Homily III

an infallible Prophet of that which is supremely profitable, gave us in charge, by way of salutation before our words of instruction, to announce to you, in order that if there be any son of peace among you, peace may take hold of him through our teaching; but if any of you will not receive it, then we, shaking off for a testimony the road-dust of our feet, which we have borne through our toils, and brought to you that you may be saved, will go to the abodes and the cities of others.[20]
