Un autre motif, c'est que sa premxcre lettre avait produit chez eux des fruits de salut. Car cet impudique qu'ils favorisaient auparavant et dont ils s'enorgue�llissaient ils l'avaient compl�tement retranch� de leur communion. Ce qu'il leur rappelle en ces termes Si l'un de vous m'a contrist�, il ne m'a pas contrist� moi seul, mais vous tous aussi, au moins en quelque sorte; ce que je dis pour ne le point surcharger dans son affliction C'est assez qu'il ait �t� repris par un grand nombre de fid�les. C'est la m�me id�e qu'il sugg�re un peu plus loin: Cette tristesse que vous avez ressentie selon Dieu vous remplis de sollicitude; elle vous justifi�s; vous vous �tes indign�s contre le coupable vous avez redout� la justice divine, vous vous �tes trouv�s pleins d'ardeur pour l'accomplisse ment de sa loi, pour venger l'injure faite � Dieu; en un mot vous avez montr� que vous n'avez en rien particip� au crime (ii Cor. Vu, Bien plus ils s'�taient empress�s de recueillir la somme d'argent qu'il leur avait demand�e. Aussi leur disait - il Je sais quel est votre empressement et je m'en glorifie aupr�s des Mac�doniens et je leur dis que l'acha�e est toute pr�te depuis l'ann�e der mi�re (ii Cor.

Some other Lutheran churches and Anglican provinces commemorate him on the traditional Eastern feast day of 27 January.

John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, was an important Early Church Father. He is known for his eloquence in preaching and public speaking, and his denunciation of abuse of authority by both ecclesiastical and political leaders.
Chrysostom is known in Christianity chiefly as a preacher, theologian and liturgist, particularly in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
During a time when city clergy were subject to criticism for their high lifestyle, John was determined to reform his clergy in Constantinople. These efforts were met with resistance and limited success. He was an excellent preacher. As a theologian, he has been and continues to be very important in Eastern Christianity, and is generally considered the most prominent doctor of the Greek Church, but has been less important to Western Christianity.
His writings have survived to the present day more so than any of the other Greek Fathers. He rejected the contemporary trend for allegory, instead speaking plainly and applying Bible passages and lessons to everyday life.
