Johannes Chrysostomus (347 – 14 September 407 nC) was ‘n belangrike Kerkvader wat as Aartsbiskop van Konstantinopel gedien het. Hy is bekend vir sy prediking en openbare redevoering, sy veroordeling van gesagsmisbruik deur beide kerklike en politieke leiers, sy Goddelike Liturgie van Sint Johannes Chrysostomus, en sy asketiese gevoelighede. Hy was ook die outeur van Adversus Judaeos en was sterk gekant teen Judaïsme. Chrysostom was een van die mees produktiewe outeurs in die vroeë Christelike Kerk.

“For these are treated in the same way as women that play the whore. Or rather their plight is more miserable. For in the case of the one the intercourse, even if lawless, is yet according to nature; but this is contrary both to law and nature. For even if there were no hell, and no punishment had been threatened, this would be worse than any punishment”
