Goodness and severity [χ ρ η σ τ ο τ η τ α κ α ι α π ο τ ο μ ι α ν]. For goodness, see on ch. Romans 3:12. Apotomia severity, only here in the New Testament. The kindred adverb, ajpotomwv sharply, occurs 2 Corinthians 13:10; Titus 1:13. From ajpotemnw to cut off. Hence that which is abrupt, sharp.

Thou shalt be cut off [ε κ κ ο π η σ η]. Lit., cut out. See on Luke 13:7.
