Jesus Came To Fulfil The Law
  
SuzieH - *Gal 5:11-12...I would they were even cut off which trouble you.

The King James translators were well aware of cultural sensitivities and often used words that were less exacting in order to be less offensive.

Scripture says 'Adam knew his wife Eve' as what really was meant is that Adam caused his wife to conceive. He already 'knew' who she was.

It is much the same with Gal. 5:12 where cut off is much kinder than castrate but Paul has much scorn for his opponents of the circumcision party.
