“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:”
For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ — the grief is palpable: 'with tears' (meta dakryōn) shows Paul's anguish over apostasy. 'Enemies of the cross' (echthri tou staurou Christou) is severe: they actively oppose Christ's cruciform way. 'Many' (polloi) suggests wide defection. The repeated warning ('often told... now tell') shows persistence and gravity.
