Pluck out eyes and give them

Here’s what it means

The Galatians once loved Paul so deeply that they would have made an extreme sacrifice for him.

Why the Bible says it this way

The writer deliberately uses very strong language to make an important point. The point is serious even though the wording is not meant literally.

A helpful detail: Paul describes former devotion, not a literal request for eye donation.
