33 “I have said these things to you so that, united with me, you may have shalom. In the world, you have tsuris. But be brave! I have conquered the world!”
CJB-Complete Jewish Bible
haiku response

when shalom is practiced
transformation begins
tranquility renews

Notes:
εἰρήνη (shalom above) =a state of national tranquility, peace between individuals, security, safety, prosperity, felicity  (thebible.org)

Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning peace, harmony, wholeness, completeness, prosperity, welfare and tranquility and can be used idiomatically to mean both hello and goodbye. (Wikipedia)

θλῖψις (tsuris above) = pressure, distress, tribulation, oppression (thebible.org)

Tsuris is a Yiddish word meaning trouble derived from the Hebrew word tzarah.  (Rabbi Kleinbaum)

Note: Let's hold what it means to "conquer the world" in a time and place that was "conquered" by Romans.  It must not be a worldly conquering to achieve conquering the world!
