# be on guard

# I did not stop admonishing ... you

This does not mean that the only words he spoke were words of warning. Rather, Paul is using hyperbole to remind them that he had told them often that evil men would try to deceive them. Alternate translation: "I warned ... you as often as I could" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-hyperbole]])

# with tears
Here "tears" refers to Paul's crying because of the strong emotion of concern he felt while he was warning the people. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
