Strong's Lexicon katakrima: Condemnation, judgment Original Word: κατάκριμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατακρίνω (katakrinō), meaning "to condemn" or "to judge against." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of condemnation is דִּין (din, Strong's H1779), which means judgment or justice. Usage: The term "katakrima" refers to the result or effect of a judicial decision, specifically the sentence of condemnation or the state of being condemned. In the New Testament, it is used to describe the divine judgment against sin and the resulting state of guilt and punishment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the concept of condemnation was familiar in both civil and criminal contexts. Condemnation often involved a formal declaration of guilt followed by a penalty. In Jewish thought, condemnation was also understood in the context of divine judgment, where God, as the ultimate judge, would render a verdict based on adherence to His laws.
