Exegesis
The initial warning clause uses the present imperative prosechete {προσέχετε | prosékhete} ‘pay attention’ together with the reflexive pronoun heautois {ἑαυτοῖς | hēautoîs} ‘to yourselves,’ creating an opening admonition that places responsibility on the community to be watchful.
In context — Luke 17:3
Pay attention to yourselves. If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him.
