Annotation CCXXIII

”That every one may convert himself from his wickedness.” — Acts 3:26

On the oath.

Chrysostom, in the ninth homily on Acts, narrating this, detests those who — in forensic judgments, in contracts, in suretyships, and in public or private acts of this kind — either offer or exact oaths, whether just or unjust. Consult Annotation 26 of this book.
