J.A. Alexander wrote: [pp. 119-120]
"The phrase with which the quoted passage closes, I will require it of him, is a pregnant one, and means far more than strikes the eye at once. To express this latent meaning, the Septuagint version, I will take vengeance, is by no means too strong. In the verse before us, the Apostle brings it out still more emphatically, by employing the customary legal formula for the highest theocratical punishment, that of excision from the church or chosen people."
