ACC ~ Galatians 4 v14a

PAUL’S CONDITION TESTED THE GALATIANS. CHRYSOSTOM: What is he saying? “I was persecuted, I was flogged, I underwent many near-deaths in preaching to you, and even so you did not despise me.” For that is the meaning of “you did not scorn or despise me.” Do you perceive his spiritual understanding? For even in the course of his self-defense he continues to exhort them anew, showing what he has suffered on their account. HOMILY ON GALATIANS 4.14.
