Listers,

If I could trouble you for your interpretation of Gal 5:12. Do you see it
as Paul suggesting the Galatians mutilate themselves or do you see it as
Paul suggesting they be excommunicated for their false teaching?

Thanks

Jim

It is what Hans Freiherr von Campenhaused called the "grizzliest joke in the NT," the wish that the knife would slip and that instead of circumcision it would result in excision, a mark of how upset Paul was.
