katakrisis denotes condemnation, shown both in a ministry characterized by it and in a speaker’s denial of condemning intent.

The attested use concerns condemnation: 2 Corinthians 3:9 names a ministry in those terms, while 2 Corinthians 7:3 denies that the speaker’s statement is directed toward condemnation.

   In 2 Corinthians 3:9, the genitive singular form occurs in the phrase describing a ministry; the APB renders the clause, “the ministry of condemnation came with glory.”

   2 Corinthians 3:9
2. Condemnation as a disavowed aim · occasional

   In 2 Corinthians 7:3, the accusative singular form follows the statement’s stated direction; the APB renders, “I do not say this toward condemnation.”

   2 Corinthians 7:3

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “condemnation” in both verses: once in describing a ministry and once in denying a condemning direction. These renderings confirm the verse-level presentation rather than isolate every lexical detail.
