Another related term is שָׁפַט (shaphat, Strong's H8199), meaning to judge or govern.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Greek verb καταδικάζω (katadikazo) is used to describe the act of condemning or passing judgment against someone. It implies a legal or moral judgment that results in a negative verdict. In the New Testament, it often refers to the unjust condemnation of individuals, particularly in the context of religious or legal trials.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, legal systems were well-established, and the act of condemning someone was a formal process often carried out by authorities or judges. In Jewish culture, the Sanhedrin was the highest court, and they had the authority to condemn individuals for religious transgressions. The concept of condemnation also carried significant weight in moral and ethical discussions, as it was seen as a serious pronouncement against one's character or actions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2613</b> <i>katadikázō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">2596</a> <i>/katá</i>, "according to, down," which intensifies <i>dikazō</i>, "to act as judge") – properly, judge <i>down</i>, i.e. condemn in an <i>exact</i> (personal) manner that is highly specific.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2613: καταδικάζω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταδικάζω</span></span>; 1 aorist <span class="greek2">κατεδίκασα</span>; 1 aorist passive <span class="greek2">κατεδικασθην</span>; 1 future passive <span class="greek2">καταδικασθήσομαι</span>; <span class="accented">to give judgment against (one), to pronounce guilty; to condemn</span>; in classical Greek (where it differs from <span class="greek2">κρίνειν</span> in giving prominence to the formal and official as distinguished from the inward and logical judging (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Schmidt</span>, Synonym, chapter 18, 6)) it is followed by the genitive of the person, in the N.
