I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
They ... which trouble you, х anastatountes (G387)] - turning upside down (Acts 17:6): setting up what ought to be down, and down what ought to be up: different from х ho (G3588) tarassoon (G5015)] Galatians 5:10, 'they who are subverting you.'
Were even cut off - rather, 'that they would even cut themselves off' from your communion, as a worthless foreskin cast away; even as they desire you to cut off your foreskin (Galatians 1:7-8: cf. Philippians 3:3) [apokopsontai: middle]. Jerome, Ambrose, Augustine, Chrysostom explain, 'Would that they would even cut themselves of' -
i.e., cut off not merely the foreskin, but the whole member, like the Galatian priests of Cybele: if circumcision be not enough, then let them have excision also: an outburst hardly suitable to the gravity of an apostle, and unsupported by the ancient versions. Galatians 5:9-10 point to communication as the judgment threatened against the troublers; and danger of the "leaven" spreading, as the reason for it.
