It implies a judgment made against a person, often in a moral or ethical context. This term is used to describe the internal or external act of recognizing and declaring someone guilty or at fault.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of judgment and condemnation was prevalent in both legal and social contexts. The act of condemning someone was not only a legal action but also a social one, where individuals could be judged by their peers or community. In the Jewish context, the law provided a basis for determining guilt or innocence, and the act of condemnation was often associated with the violation of the Mosaic Law.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>2607</b> <i>kataginṓskō</i> (from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">2596</a> <i>/katá</i>, "according to, <i>down</i> to," intensifying <a href="/greek/1097.htm">1097</a> <i>/ginṓskō</i>, "know experientially") – properly, to find as <i>decisively guilty</i> and on the basis of direct, <i>personal acquaintance</i>; <i>specifically</i> condemn by having a first-hand awareness of the facts; to charge as guilty with specific (pointed) facts.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/2596.htm">kata</a> and <a href="/greek/1097.htm">ginóskó</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to blame<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>condemn (1), condemned (1), condemns (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2607: καταγινώσκω</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">καταγινώσκω</span></span>; perfect passive participle <span class="greek2">κατεγνωσμένος</span>; <span class="accented">to find fault with, blame</span>: <span class="greek2">κατεγνωσμένος</span> <span class="greek2">ἦν</span>, he had incurred the censure of the Gentile Christians; Luther rightly,<span class="latin">es war Klage über ihn kommen</span> (i. e. <span class="accented">a charge had been laid against him</span>; but others <span class="accented">he stood condemned,</span> see Meyer or Ellicott, in the place cited; cf.
