Strong's Lexicon katakrima: Condemnation, judgment Original Word: κατάκριμα Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter Transliteration: katakrima Pronunciation: kä-tä'-krē-mä Phonetic Spelling: (kat-ak'-ree-mah) Definition: punishment following condemnation, penal servitude, penalty. Meaning: The term κατάκριμα refers to a "condemnation" or "judgment" that results in a penalty. It implies a legal decision against someone, often with the connotation of a sentence or punishment. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb κατακρίνω (katakrínō), which means "to condemn" or "to judge against." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κατάκριμα, related concepts can be found in Hebrew words such as מִשְׁפָּט (mishpat, Strong's H4941), meaning "judgment" or "justice," and חֵטְא (chet, Strong's H2399), meaning "sin" or "offense," which often carry the idea of judgment or condemnation in the Old Testament context. Usage: The word κατάκριμα is used in the New Testament to describe the state of being under condemnation, particularly in a spiritual or moral sense. It is often associated with the consequences of sin and the judgment that follows. Context: • Contextual Analysis: In the New Testament, κατάκριμα is used to express the concept of divine judgment and the resulting state of condemnation for those who are not in Christ. It highlights the seriousness of sin and the just nature of God's judgment. • Key Verses: • Romans 5:16 (BSB): "The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned. For the judgment following one sin brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brought justification." • Romans 5:18 (BSB): "So then, just as one trespass brought condemnation for all men, so also one act of righteousness brought justification and life for all men." • Romans 8:1 (BSB): "Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." • Theological Significance: The use of κατάκριμα in Romans underscores the contrast between the condemnation brought by Adam's sin and the justification available through Jesus Christ. It emphasizes the transformative power of Christ's redemptive work, which removes the believer from a state of condemnation and places them in a state of grace. • Practical Implications: Understanding κατάκριμα helps believers appreciate the depth of their salvation and the freedom from judgment that comes through faith in Christ. It serves as a reminder of the gravity of sin and the mercy available through the gospel.
