Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Your enemy (exqrov umwn). Active sense of exqrov, hater with objective genitive. They looked on Paul now as an enemy to them. So the Pharisees and Judaizers generally now regarded him.
Because I tell you the truth (alhqeuwn umin). Present active participle of alhqeuw, old verb from alhqhv, true. In N.T. only here and Ephesians 4:15. "Speaking the truth." It is always a risky business to speak the truth, the whole truth. It may hit and hurt.
