However, how do you arrive at “condemn” for KRINW?>Should we see any difference between KRISIS and KRIMA?While properly speaking KATAKRINW is used for condemn, yet in quite commonusage KRINW and KRISIS are used negatively, as also, far more often than wemay be aware, “judge” and “justice” are used negatively: this is clearlythe case in Mt 7:1 MH KRINETE, KAI OU MH KRIQHTE and I think it is verycommon in Hellenistic Greek. In John’s gospel KRISIS is a major theme, butas I read John, the functions of the Son of Man are twofold andantithetical: to judge/condemn and to give life; as I said before, this isall part of a much larger context of eschatological language and conceptsthat have a rather distinct focus in John’s gospel; KRINW and KRISIS alsoinvolve a notion of discrimination, discernment, distinction–and I thinkthat in one sense the primeval separation of the light from the darkness ofGenesis 1 finds its parallel in the roles of Light and Darkness in theJohannine prologue–but the more important KRISIS performed by Jesus (whoIS the Light) in John is the separation of the SEEING from the BLIND, i.e.,of those who see the Light and come to him, and of those who fail torecognize and welcome him. KRIMA and KRISIS should be seen partly in termsof the formative elements: -SIS yields normally a verbal noun for theaction of the verb–hence KRISIS is ‘judging’ or ‘distinguishing’; -THS (orTHR or TWR) yields normally an agent noun–hence KRITHS, the ‘judge’ or’the one sitting in judgment’; -MA normally yields a verbal noun referringto the object or result of the verbal action–hence KRIMA is the verdictgiven by the KRITHS, and in the negative sense is “condemnation.” I thinkthat a brief study of these words in the lexicon as well as examination ofseveral of the passages containing them such as listed in a concordance isvery instructive, but it also helps to know something about standardpatterns of Greek word-formation.Carl W.

I want to give your reply some more thought>yet of course. However, how do you arrive at “condemn” for KRINW?>Should we see any difference between KRISIS and KRIMA?While properly speaking KATAKRINW is used for condemn, yet in quite commonusage KRINW and KRISIS are used negatively, as also, far more often than wemay be aware, “judge” and “justice” are used negatively: this is clearlythe case in Mt 7:1 MH KRINETE, KAI OU MH KRIQHTE and I think it is verycommon in Hellenistic Greek. In John’s gospel KRISIS is a major theme, butas I read John, the functions of the Son of Man are twofold andantithetical: to judge/condemn and to give life; as I said before, this isall part of a much larger context of eschatological language and conceptsthat have a rather distinct focus in John’s gospel; KRINW and KRISIS alsoinvolve a notion of discrimination, discernment, distinction–and I thinkthat in one sense the primeval separation of the light from the darkness ofGenesis 1 finds its parallel in the roles of Light and Darkness in theJohannine prologue–but the more important KRISIS performed by Jesus (whoIS the Light) in John is the separation of the SEEING from the BLIND, i.e.,of those who see the Light and come to him, and of those who fail torecognize and welcome him. KRIMA and KRISIS should be seen partly in termsof the formative elements: -SIS yields normally a verbal noun for theaction of the verb–hence KRISIS is ‘judging’ or ‘distinguishing’; -THS (orTHR or TWR) yields normally an agent noun–hence KRITHS, the ‘judge’ or’the one sitting in judgment’; -MA normally yields a verbal noun referringto the object or result of the verbal action–hence KRIMA is the verdictgiven by the KRITHS, and in the negative sense is “condemnation.” I thinkthat a brief study of these words in the lexicon as well as examination ofseveral of the passages containing them such as listed in a concordance isvery instructive, but it also helps to know something about standardpatterns of Greek word-formation.Carl W.
