STRONGS G2699:
κατατομή,
κατατομης,
ἡ (from
κατατέμνω (cf.
κατά, III. 4) to cut up, mutilate),
mutilation (Latin
concisio):
Philippians 3:2, where Paul sarcastically alludes to the word
περιτομή which follows in
Philippians 3:3; as though he would say, Keep your eye on that boasted circumcision, or to call it by its true name 'concision' or 'mutilation.' Cf. the similar passage,
Galatians 5:12; see
ἀποκόπτω.
