THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS FOR "JUDGEMENT"

1. aistesis = perception. Occurs only in Phil. 1.9, where A.V. reads "sense" in the margin and R.V. reads "discernment".

2. gnome, from ginosko (Ap.132, ii) = opinion, the result of knowledge. Occurs nine times: translated "purposed" in Acts 20.3; "judgment" in I Cor. 1.10; 7.25,40; "advice" in 2 Cor.8.10; "mind" in Philem. 14; Rev.17.13; "will" in Rev. 17.17; and (with a verb) "agree" in Rev. 17.17.

3. dikatoma = that which is deemed right or just (dikaios). Occurs ten times: translated "judgment" in Rom. 1. 32; Rev.15.4; elsewhere "ordinance", righteousness", and once "justification" (Rom. 5.16)

4. dike = right, as established custom or usage, hence a suit at law, penalty, vengeance. Occurs four times: translated "judgment" in Acts 25.15; "vengeance" in Acts 28.4; Jude 7; and "punished" in 2 Thess. 1.9 (see R.V.)

7. krisis = a separating, a judgment, especially of judicial proceedings. Our English word "crisis" means a turning point. The word occurs forty-eight times: translated "damnation" (Matt.23.33; Mark 3.29; John 5.29), "condemnation" (John 3.19; 5.24), "accusation" (2 Pet.2.11; Jude 9), and everywhere else "judgment.

8. kriterion = the place, or means of judgment. It occurs three times (I cor. 6.2,4; James 2.6) This word we have also adopted into the English language as a "standard" for judging.
