Strong's Lexicon krima: Judgment, verdict, condemnation, decision Original Word: κρίμα Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κρίνω (krinō), meaning "to judge" or "to decide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H4941 מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat): Often translated as "judgment" or "justice," reflecting a similar concept of legal decision or divine judgment. - H1779 דִּין (din): Meaning "judgment" or "cause," used in contexts of legal proceedings or divine justice. Usage: The term "krima" primarily refers to the act of judgment or the result of a judicial decision. It can denote a legal verdict, a sentence of condemnation, or the process of making a decision. In the New Testament, "krima" is often used in the context of divine judgment, highlighting God's righteous and sovereign authority to judge human actions and intentions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of judgment was integral to both legal and philosophical systems. Courts and legal proceedings were common, and the idea of a final judgment was present in various religious traditions. In Jewish thought, judgment was closely associated with God's covenantal relationship with His people, where He acted as both lawgiver and judge. The New Testament reflects this understanding, emphasizing God's ultimate authority to judge the living and the dead. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 2917 kríma (a neuter noun derived from 2919 /krínō, "to distinguish, judge") – judgment, emphasizing its result (note the -ma suffix). This is everlasting damnation (torment) for the unredeemed (the usual implication of 2319 /theostygḗs) – or the eternal benefits that come from the Lord's judgment in favor of the redeemed (cf. Rev 20:4). See 2919 (krinō). 2917 /kríma ("the results of a judgment") dramatically links cause-to-effect. Indeed, every decision (action) we make carries inevitable eternal results (cf. Ecc 12;14).
