12And when you go into a household, greet it.

12As you enter the house, greet its occupants.

13If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

13If the household is receptive, let your blessing of peace come on it. But if it isn't receptive, let your blessing of peace return to you.
