UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament

καταδικάζω (G2613)

verb | δικάζω (judge) · δικαιόω

56.31 · Courts and Legal Procedures · Judge, Condemn, Acquit

to condemn, to render a verdict of guilt, condemnation to judge someone as definitely guilty and thus subject to punishment

MAT 12:7 · MAT 12:37 · LUK 6:37 · LUK 6:37 · JAS 5:6

¹ The series κατακρίνω, κατάκρισις, and κατάκριμα probably differs slightly in meaning from καταδικάζω and καταδίκη in that the first series focuses more upon the actual process of judging rather than upon the verdict, but it is not possible to determine this from existing NT contexts.
