Thayer's Expanded Definition

ἀποκόπτω: 1 aorist ἀπεκοψα; future middle ἀποκόψομαι; to cut off, amputate: Mark 9:43 (45); John 18:10, 26; Acts 27:32; ὄφελον καί ἀποκόψονται I would that they (who urge the necessity of circumcision would not only circumcise themselves, but) would even mutilate themselves (or cut off their privy parts), Galatians 5:12. ἀποκόπτεσθαι occurs in this sense in Deuteronomy 23:1; (Philo de alleg. leg. 3:3; de vict. off. § 13; cf. de spec. legg. i. § 7); Epictetus diss. 2, 20, 19; Lucian, Eun. 8; (Dion Cass. 79, 11; Diodorus Siculus 3, 31), and other passages quoted by Wetstein (1752) at the passage (and Sophocles Lexicon under the word). Others incorrectly: I would that they would cut themselves off from the society of Christians, quit it altogether; (cf. Meyer and Lightfoot at the passage).

Vocabulary of the Greek NT

On this word, taken in the sense of Deuteronomy 23:1 (supported by several instances in literary Κοινή —see Grimm-Thayer) Nägeli has some good remarks (p. 78 f.) : he brings together several phrases which show Paul using a more vernacular style in Gal than anywhere else, the startling passage 5.12 being the climax—";Der zürnende Apostel lässt auch seiner Wortwahl freien Lauf; die stärksten Ausdrücke der Umgangsprache sind etzt die geeignetsten."; Cf. Proleg. pp. 163, 201.
