More from St. John Chrysostom

I am not ashamed, having still to teach them not to be ashamed. For he (St.Paul) knew that if they succeeded in this, they would speedily go on and come to glorying also: and do you then, if you hear any one saying, Do you worship the Crucified? be not ashamed, and do not look down, but luxuriate in it, be bright-faced at it, and with the eyes of a free man, and with uplifted look, take up your confession; and if he say again, Do you worship the Crucified? say in reply to him, Yes!
