Strong's Lexicon kataginóskó: To condemn, to blame, to find fault with Original Word: καταγινώσκω Word Origin: From κατά (kata, meaning "against") and γινώσκω (ginóskó, meaning "to know" or "to recognize"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for καταγινώσκω, the concept of condemnation can be related to Hebrew terms such as יָדַע (yada, "to know") in the context of recognizing guilt, and שָׁפַט (shaphat, "to judge"). Usage: The verb καταγινώσκω is used in the New Testament to express the act of condemning or finding fault with someone. 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. Cultural and Historical Background: 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.
