You were running a good race. Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth? — Paul's athletic metaphor portrays the Christian life as a 'dromos' (race, course); the Galatians had begun well ('kalos' — good, noble), but someone has 'anatemnō' (cut in on, disrupted) their trajectory, diverting them from 'apakoē tēs alētheias' (obedience to truth/the truth), the false teachers acting as obstacles.
