Wesley's Notes

3:11 Let him seek - To live peaceably with all men. And pursue it - Even when it seems to flee from him.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

11. In oldest manuscripts, Greek, "Moreover (besides his words, in acts), let him."

eschew-"turn from."

ensue-pursue as a thing hard to attain, and that flees from one in this troublesome world.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:8-13 Though Christians cannot always be exactly of the same mind, yet they should have compassion one of another, and love as brethren. If any man desires to live comfortably on earth, or to possess eternal life in heaven, he must bridle his tongue from wicked, abusive, or deceitful words. He must forsake and keep far from evil actions, do all the good he can, and seek peace with all men. For God, all-wise and every where present, watches over the righteous, and takes care of them. None could or should harm those who copied the example of Christ, who is perfect goodness, and did good to others as his followers.
