katakrinô

κατακρινοῦσιν [10 verses](verb 3rd pl pres ind act or verb 3rd pl fut ind act or verb 3rd pl aor subj pass or verb 3rd pl aor subj act  or part pl pres/fut act masc/neut dat) "Shall condemn" is katakrino, which means "to give a sentence against," and "to condemn."  - - The verb translated as "condemned" is a verb form of the word translated as "judge" with the prefix meaning "down." The verb "judge" primarily means "to separate," as in separating fact from fiction and separating guilty from innocent.  So the word literally means, "separate down." We say, "decide against" while the Greeks said, "decide down." It is usually used to mean a judgment in court, but it is also used to reflect a judgment in public opinion.
