Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: From αὐτός (autos, "self") and κατάκριτος (katakritos, "condemned").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for αὐτοκατάκριτος, the concept of self-condemnation can be related to Hebrew terms that involve self-judgment or acknowledgment of guilt, such as אָשֵׁם (asham, "guilty") and חָטָא (chata, "to sin" or "to miss the mark"). These terms reflect the broader biblical theme of personal responsibility for one's actions and the consequences that follow.

Usage: The term αὐτοκατάκριτος is used in the New Testament to describe an individual who, by their own actions or statements, acknowledges their guilt or wrongdoing, thus condemning themselves.

Context: The Greek term αὐτοκατάκριτος appears in the New Testament in Titus 3:11. In this context, the Apostle Paul advises Titus on how to deal with divisive individuals within the church. Paul instructs that after a first and second warning, such a person should be rejected, knowing that they are "self-condemned." This term highlights the idea that the individual's persistent divisiveness and refusal to heed correction serve as evidence of their own guilt. The self-condemnation arises not from external judgment but from the person's own actions and choices, which reveal their true character and intentions.

In the broader biblical context, the concept of being self-condemned aligns with the principle that one's actions and words reflect the state of their heart. This idea is consistent with other scriptural teachings that emphasize personal responsibility and accountability before God. The self-condemned person is contrasted with those who seek repentance and reconciliation, as their unwillingness to change or accept correction ultimately leads to their own judgment.
