Philippians 3:18

I told you often (pollakiv elegon). Imperfect active, repetition in Paul s warnings to them.

Even weeping (kai klaiwn). Deep emotion as he dictated the letter and recalled these recreant followers of Christ (cf. II Corinthians 2:4).

The enemies of the cross of Christ (touv exqrouv tou staurou tou Xristou). Either the Judaizers who denied the value of the cross of Christ (Galatians 5:11; Galatians 6:12, Galatians 6:14) or Epicurean antinomians whose loose living gave the lie to the cross of Christ (I John 2:4).
