Non postulat videri doctior vel sanctior quam est: non lacerat proximum ad commendationem sui, quod contentiosa facit sapientia. Non solum propter prædicta debet hujusmodi sapientiam appetere, sed etiam ideo; quia a facientibus pacem quasi jacientibus hoc semen seminatur, et præparatur in pace æternæ beatitudinis fructus, id est merces justitiæ, quæ pro justis operibus retribuitur. Qui igitur hic studet paci, et terram cordis sui operibus pacis quasi semente aspergit, justum est ut habeat æternam pacem, quasi fructum hujus seminis.

/the/_fruit & ˱of˲_righteousness in peace /is_being/_sown ˱by˲_the_‹ones› making peace

Alternate translation: “those who work peacefully to help people live together peacefully are helping those people to live in the right way”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
