The latter part of your quote seems to reflect Acts 14.22, so I checked
some of the more obviously corresponding Greek phraseology in the TLG
CD-ROM for Chrysostom, but came up dry. Chrysostom knows and uses the Acts
passage in various ways in the surviving Greek, but I didn't find anything
quite like your quote.
