ACC ~ Galatians 1 v14

ZEAL FOR GOD. CHRYSOSTOM: What he is saying is, “If what I then did against the church was done not on man’s account but through zeal for God—mistaken but zeal nonetheless—how can I now be acting for vainglory when I operate on behalf of the church and know the truth?” HOMILY ON GALATIANS 1.14.

SUBMISSION TO JEWISH TRADITION. JEROME: He prudently inserts the statement that he served not so much God’s law as the paternal traditions—that is, those of the Pharisees, who teach doctrines and precepts of men and reject the law of God to set up their own traditions. EPISTLE TO THE GALATIANS 1.1.13.
