krima denotes a judicial verdict or proceeding, often the adverse sentence incurred or received.

The occurrences most often portray an adverse judicial outcome received for wrongdoing or failure; they also use the term for judicial evaluation or authority and for judgment described as coming, beginning, or enduring.

Senses in use

  1. Adverse sentence or incurred outcome · dominant

    The singular form appears where people receive or bear an adverse outcome: in Galatians 5:10 the troubling person will bear it, while in James 3:1 teachers will receive a greater one. In 1 Corinthians 11:29 the APB renders the clause "eats and drinks judgment on himself," and in Romans 13:2 it says opponents of authority "will receive judgment for themselves."

  2. Judicial evaluation, decision, or proceeding · common

    In Matthew 7:2, the dative singular occurs in the measure by which someone judges and is judged, placing the term within reciprocal evaluation. The plural nominative in Romans 11:33 refers to God's judgments, and Revelation 20:4 states that judgment was given to those seated on thrones. In 1 Corinthians 6:7, the plural form occurs in the problem of having judgments among themselves.

  3. Judgment as an announced or expected event · occasional

    The genitive singular occurs in teaching about "the coming judgment" in Acts 24:25 and "eternal judgment" in Hebrews 6:2. In 1 Peter 4:17, the accusative singular stands in the statement that judgment is to begin from the house of God.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with "judgment," including received, coming, eternal, and severe judgment. In 1 Timothy 5:12 it instead renders the clause with "condemnation"; These renderings reflect the clauses rather than fixed English equivalents.
