 17 1,2    |         like these.[12]~ ~While St. John wisely does not try to compile
 18 1,2    |           Homilies on the Gospel of John. The Antiochean offers a

 22 1,3    |         similar sentiments in Saint John Chrysostom who may well
 23 1,3    |            Saint Athanasios.~ Saint John, too, is an heir of this
 24 1,3    |           also in the case of Saint John, we meet the glowing conviction
 25 1,3    |             at work in history. St. John associates this achievement

 29 1,3    |           later homily on Acts, St. John lifts up the example of

 35 1,4    |             righteousness, so Saint John states, is not your own,
 36 1,4    |           10).~ An example of Saint John’s understanding of the synergistic
 37 1,4    |             a particular way, Saint John concentrates on this theme
