Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
many walk--in such a manner. Follow not evildoers, because they are "many" (Exodus 23:2). Their numbers are rather a presumption against their being Christ's "little flock" (Luke 12:32).
often--There is need of constant warning.
weeping-- (Romans 9:2). A hard tone in speaking of the inconsistencies of professors is the very opposite of Paul's spirit, and David's (Psalms 119:136), and Jeremiah's (Jeremiah 13:17). The Lord and His apostles, at the same time, speak more strongly against empty professors (as the Pharisees), than against open scoffers.
enemies of the cross of Christ--in their practice, not in doctrine (Galatians 6:14; Hebrews 6:6; Hebrews 10:29).
