This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Your enemy (echthros humōn). Active sense of echthros, 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 (alētheuōn humin). Present active participle of alētheuō, old verb from alēthēs, true. In N.T. only here and Eph 4:15. “Speaking the truth.” It is always a risky business to speak the truth, the whole truth. It may hit and hurt.
