Strong's Lexicon dikaiokrisia: Righteous judgment Original Word: δικαιοκρισία Word Origin: From δίκαιος (dikaios, meaning "righteous" or "just") and κρίσις (krisis, meaning "judgment" or "decision") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "dikaiokrisia," the concept of righteous judgment is reflected in several Hebrew terms, such as צֶדֶק (tsedeq, Strong's H6664) meaning "righteousness" and מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, Strong's H4941) meaning "judgment" or "justice." Usage: The term "dikaiokrisia" refers to the concept of judgment that is fair, just, and in accordance with divine righteousness. It emphasizes the impartial and equitable nature of God's judgment, which is based on His perfect justice and holiness. This term is used to convey the idea that God's judgments are not arbitrary but are grounded in His righteous character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, justice was a central theme in both philosophy and law. The concept of a righteous judge was highly esteemed, as it was believed that a just society depended on fair and impartial judgments. In the Jewish tradition, God's justice was a foundational attribute, and His judgments were seen as expressions of His covenant faithfulness and moral perfection. The early Christian understanding of God's righteous judgment was deeply rooted in these traditions, emphasizing that God's judgments are both just and merciful. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 1341 dikaiokrisía (a feminine noun derived from 1342 /díkaios, "righteous" and 2920 /krísis, "judgment") – properly, the brand of judgment based on God's standard (His own justice), condemning what is wrong in light of His eternal morality (used only in Ro 2:5). See 1343 (dikaiosynē). [Strictly speaking, 1341 (dikaiokrisía) is a compound rather than a pure cognate. It is grouped here however because of its tight connection to the dik- word-family.] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom dikaios and krisis Definition righteous judgment NASB Translation righteous judgment (1).
