Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'κρίνω[e], κρίσις[a], and κρίμα[a] often appear in contexts referring to the judgment of God, particularly in reference to the so-called end times, but the limited differences in semantic components of meaning in contexts referring to God’s judgment do not warrant setting up a separate set of meanings.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'There are no doubt certain subtle differences of meaning in these terms (ἀγοραῖος[b], κριτήριον[a], κρίσις[c], ἡμέρα[e]), especially in their connotations, but it is not possible to specify the difference on the basis of existing contexts.'}, {'Caller': 3, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': ['04000502100030'], 'Content': 'In {S:04000502100030} κρίσις probably refers to a local court of justice.'}, {'Caller': 4, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'One might argue that the meaning of κρίνω, κρίσις, and κρίμα in the cited contexts is only to make a judgment and that the negative or adverse character of the judgment depends entirely on the context. However, the frequency of the occurrence of κρίνωκρίσις, and κρίμα in the specific sense of adverse judgment or verdict of guilt is such as to justify setting up two different meanings, one involving simply the process of rendering a legal judgment ({D:56.20}) and the other, the process of legal condemnation ({D:56.30}).'}]

        Glosses: ['justice', 'fairness']
