During his priestly mission in Antioch (386-397) and his episcopate in Constantinople (398-403), he wrote over 200 homiletic commentaries on the entire Pauline epistolary body of work. This research attempts to analyze how Chrysostom interprets Paul’s verses concerning the collection and uses them to organize and transform the ecclesial groups into communities of love, particularly paying attention to the poor. The study focuses on the works of John Chrysostom on Rom 15:25-29. Based on his interpretation, the status of debtors in the spiritual blessings is the main reason why the Romans had to be more earnest in almsgiving, imitating the Macedonians and the Achaeans who had helped the community in Jerusalem. He also encourages them to reform their lives, cutting off the superfluities, luxurious lifestyles, and bad attitudes in squandering money on other selfish needs. At the same time, he stirrers them up to meet their needs moderately, which meant using only the goods that are truly necessary for a healthy and dignified life so that they would always have something to share with the poor.enCC-BY-ND - Uznanie autorstwa - Bez utworów zależnychJohn ChrysostomcollectionLetter to the Romansalms-givingChurch in Jerusalemletters of Saint PaulChurch FathersDoctors of the Churchexegesispatristic exegesispatristic commentarieshomiletical commentariesalmsJerusalemBibleOld Testamentbiblical studiesbiblical exegesistheologybiblical theologypoorJan ChryzostomzbiórkaList do Rzymianjałmużnictwodawanie jałmużnyKościół w Jerozolimielisty św.
