HELPS Word-studies 2919 krínō – properly, to separate (distinguish), i.e. judge; come to a choice (decision, judgment) by making a judgment – either positive (a verdict in favor of) or negative (which rejects or condemns). J. Thayer comments that "the proper meaning of 2919 (krínō) is to pick out (choose) by separating" (as also used in Homer, Herodotus, Aeschyl., Xenophon, Plato). 2919 /krínō ("distinguish, judge") typically refers to making a determination of right or wrong (innocence or guilt), especially on an official (legal) standard. We only judge (2919 /krínō) accurately by intelligent comparison and contrast based on God's word, i.e. to approve (prefer) what is correct and reject what is inferior (wrong). [2919 (krínō) is used of "bringing to trial" (the trying of fact) in a court of law. 2919 (krinō) originally meant "separate." So Homer, of Ceres separating the grain from the chaff (Iliad, v, 501). Thence, 'to distinguish, to pick out, to be of opinion, to judge' " (WS, 418).] NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina prim. verb Definition to judge, decide NASB Translation act as...judge (1), concluded (1), condemn (1), condemning (1), considered (1), decided (8), determine (1), determined (2), go to law (1), goes to law (1), judge (42), judged (25), judges (10), judging (5), judgment (1), pass judgment (1), passes judgment (1), passing judgment (1), pronounced (1), regards (2), stand trial (2), sue (1), trial (3), tried (1), try (1).
