Strong's Lexicon katakrisis: Condemnation Original Word: κατάκρισις Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: katakrisis Pronunciation: kä-tä'-krē-sēs Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ak'-ree-sis) Definition: condemnation, censure. Meaning: The term κατάκρισις refers to the act of condemnation or the state of being condemned. It implies a judicial decision against someone, often with a moral or spiritual connotation. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατακρίνω (katakrínō), which means "to condemn" or "to judge against." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of condemnation in the Old Testament is often expressed through Hebrew terms such as דִּין (din, Strong's H1777) meaning "to judge" or "to contend," and רָשַׁע (rasha, Strong's H7561) meaning "to be wicked" or "to condemn." These terms reflect similar themes of judgment and moral accountability found in the Greek concept of κατάκρισις. Usage: The word κατάκρισις is used in the New Testament to describe the act of passing judgment or condemnation, particularly in a divine or eschatological context. Context: • Contextual Analysis: In the New Testament, κατάκρισις is used to convey the concept of divine judgment and condemnation. It is often associated with the final judgment where individuals are held accountable for their actions. The term underscores the seriousness of divine justice and the consequences of sin. • Theological Significance: The use of κατάκρισις highlights the gravity of God's righteous judgment. It serves as a warning to believers and non-believers alike about the ultimate accountability before God. The concept of condemnation is contrasted with salvation and redemption, emphasizing the need for repentance and faith in Jesus Christ to avoid such judgment. • Scriptural References: While the specific term κατάκρισις may not appear frequently, its root concept is echoed throughout the New Testament. For example, in Romans 8:1 (BSB), the apostle Paul writes, "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." This verse illustrates the deliverance from κατάκρισις for those who are united with Christ, highlighting the transformative power of the gospel.
