In Hebrews 12:11, the accusative singular masculine form qualifies the fruit that discipline later yields; the APB renders the clause "it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness." In James 3:17, the nominative singular feminine form occurs in the list describing wisdom from above; the APB renders it "first pure, then peaceful, gentle."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses "peaceful" in both verses, once for the fruit yielded by discipline and once within the description of wisdom. These renderings confirm the clauses' presentation rather than establish a separate sense.
