Note: the SVS Popular Patristics volume used for this reading omits St. John Chrysostom’s opening and conclusion. A translation of the complete homily is available in John Chrysostom on Paul: Praises and Problem Passages by Margaret M. Mitchell, but a copy of that translation could not be obtained. Therefore, for the opening and concluding sections, we have provided a provisional translation using AI. Caveat emptor.
