In Matthew 5:9, the nominative plural masculine adjective identifies the people in the opening blessing; the APB renders the clause, "Blessed are the peacemakers," and follows it with the promise that they "will be called sons of God."
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 5:9, the APB presents the group as "the peacemakers" within a blessing statement. The clause rather than the English label establishes the term's use.
