"St. John Chrysostom doesn't translate well."
Actually he translates very, very well. This just isn't a very good translation. The Greek is beautiful and expresses Orthodox Christianity in a most profound and yet at the same time understandable to the modern Western mind, way.

I saw your Icon "The Ladder of Divine Ascent"! Everyone needs to see it with your explanation captioning it..

Do you know of a link to the original Greek text of St. John's sermon? My son is studying Greek and is very interested in the original Greek.
Blessings!
