Strong's Lexicon akatakritos: Uncondemned, without condemnation Original Word: ἀκατάκριτος Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: akatakritos Pronunciation: ah-kah-TAH-kree-tos Phonetic Spelling: (ak-at-ak'-ree-tos) Definition: Uncondemned, without condemnation Meaning: uncondemned, not yet tried. Word Origin: From the Greek prefix ἀ- (a-, "not") and κατακρίνω (katakrinō, "to condemn" or "to judge against") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "akatakritos," the concept of being without condemnation can be related to terms like "naqah" (H5352), which means to be acquitted or free from guilt. Usage: The term "akatakritos" is used to describe a state of being free from condemnation or judgment. It implies a condition where no formal accusation or verdict of guilt has been pronounced. In the New Testament, it is used to convey the idea of being without blame or not having been judged guilty by a legal or moral standard. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were an integral part of society, with courts and trials being common. The concept of being "uncondemned" would resonate with early Christians who were often subject to legal scrutiny and persecution. The term reflects a status of innocence or being free from legal charges, which would have been significant in a context where Christians were frequently accused of various offenses.
