κατάκριμα [page 327] Deissmann ( BS p. 264 f.) quotes several passages from CPR I. where he thinks the word must be understood technically to denote a burden ensuing from a judicial pronouncement a servitude, as in 1 .15 ff. (A.D. 83 4) where a piece of land is transferred to the purchaser καθαρὰ ἀπὸ παντὸς ὀφειλήματος ἀπὸ μὲν δημοσίων τελεσμάτων πάντων καὶ [ἑτέρων εἰ ]δῶν καὶ ἀρταβίων καὶ ναυβίων καὶ ἀριθμητικῶν καὶ ἐπιβολῆς κώμης καὶ κατακριμάτων πάντων καὶ παντὸς εἴδους , and 188 .14 f. (A.D. 105 6) where in a deed of sale similar expressions occur. To these exx. we may add P Oxy II. 298 .4 (i/A.D.) τοῦ κατακρίματος (δραχμῶν ) Σ̄ , where though unfortunately the phrase follows an hiatus, the word is apparently = a judgment for a sum of money to be paid as a fine or damages. Cf. P Tebt II. 228 .65 (A.D. 107 8) κατ̣α̣κ [ρ ]ι̣[μ (άτων )], where the editors point out that the reference is to fines, and compare ib. 363 .15 (early ii/A.D.), P Fay 66 .1 (A.D. 185 or 217), and P Amh II. 114 .8 (A.D. 131); these fines were normally collected by πράκτορες , cf. Luk_12:58 . It follows that this word does not mean condemnation but the punishment following sentence, so that the earlier lexicographers mentioned by Deissmann were right This not only suits Rom_8:1 admirably, as Deissmann points out, but it materially helps the exegesis of Rom_5:16 ; Rom_5:18 . There is no adequate antithesis between κρίμα and κατάκριμα , for the former never suggests a trial ending in acquittal. If κατάκριμα means the result of the κρίμα , the penal servitude from which οἱ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ are delivered (8:1), δικαίωμα represents the restoration of the criminal, the fresh chance given him. The antithesis is seen better in ver. 18 , for δικαίωσις is a process of absolution, carrying with it life (SH), which exactly answers to κατάκριμα , the permanent imprisonment for a debt we cannot pay : Mat_18:34 paints the picture of this hopeless state.
