Exegesis
The genitive phrase tou poimniou {τοῦ ποιμνίου | toû poi-mní-ou} “the flock” presents the congregation under pastoral care, sustaining the shepherd imagery in the larger discourse. In translation, the Greek word order is adjusted to standard English subject–verb–object order, and the participle is rendered with a finite verb (“they will not spare the flock”) to communicate the ongoing ruthless action clearly and naturally.
In context — Acts 20:29
I know that after my departure, severe wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock .
