This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I would (ophelon). Would that, used as conjunction in wishes. See 1Co 4:8; note on 2Co 11:1. Here a wish about the future with future indicative.
They which unsettle you (hoi anastatountes humas). Late verb from anastatos, driven from one’s abode, and in papyri in this sense as well as in sense of upsetting or disturbing one’s mind (boy’s letter) as here. In Act 17:6; Act 21:38 we have it in sense of making a commotion.
Cut themselves off (apokopsontai). Future middle of apokoptō, old word to cut off as in Act 27:32, here to mutilate.
