I would they were even cut off which trouble you.
Honestly, I wish those people who keep messing with you would just remove themselves completely.
Paul's basically saying he wishes the troublemakers would just exit stage left and stop causing drama.
📚 Historical Context
In the letter to the Galatians, Paul is addressing false teachers known as Judaizers who were pressuring Gentile Christians to adopt Jewish customs, such as circumcision, in order to be truly saved. This teaching contradicted Paul's emphasis on salvation through faith in Christ alone, leading to division in the early church. Paul's strong language in this verse reflects his frustration and a hyperbolic wish for these troublemakers to be entirely removed from the community.
