Thayer's Greek Lexicon
κατακρίνω; future καακρίνω; 1 aorist κατεκρινα; passive, perfect κατακεκριμαι; 1 aorist κατεκρίθην; 1 future κατακριθήσομαι; "to give judgment against (one (see κατά, III. 7)), to judge worthy of punishment, to condemn";
a. properly: Rom_8:34; τινα, Joh_8:10; Rom_2:1, where it is disting. from κρίνειν, as in 1Co_11:32; passive, Mat_27:3; Rom_14:23; τινα θανάτῳ, to adjudge one to death, condemn to death, Mat_20:18 (Tdf. εἰς θάνατον); Mar_10:33, (κεκρίμμενοι θανάτῳ, to eternal death, the Epistle of Barnabas 10, 5 [ET]); καταστροφή, 2Pe_2:6 (WH omits; Tr marginal reading brackets καταστροφή) (the Greeks say κατακρίνειν τινα θανάτου or θάνατον; cf. Winers Grammar, 210 (197f); Buttmann, § 132, 16; Grimm on Wis_2:20); with the accusative and infinitive, τινα ἔνοχον εἶναι θανάτου, Mar_14:64; simply, of God condemning one to eternal misery: passive, Mar_16:16; 1Co_11:32; Jas_5:9 Rec. b. improperly, i. e. by one's good example to render another's wickedness the more evident and censurable: Mat_12:41; Luk_11:31; Heb_11:7. In a peculiar use of the word, occasioned by the employment of the term κατάκριμα (in verse 1), Paul says, Rom_8:3, ὁ Θεός κατέκρινε τήν ἁμαρτίαν ἐν τῇ σαρκί, i. e. through his Son, who partook of human nature but was without sin, God deprived sin (which is the ground of the κατάκριμα) of its power in human nature (looked at in the general), broke its deadly sway (just as the condemnation and punishment of wicked men puts an end to their power to injure or do harm). ((From Pindar and Herodotus down.))

Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
κατακρίνω [page 328]
P Petr I. 16 .11 (B.C. 230) ἀλλὰ κατακριθῆι μου , but if the case be decided against me, and P Oxy III. 653 ( b ) (before A.D. 161) where in the account of a trial regarding a mortgage upon the property of Voltimus which had been seized by the creditor, Sempronius Orestinus, the Prefect informs the latter that unless he makes restitution οὐ μόνον κατακριθήσει ἀλλὰ καὶ δαρήσ [ει . The verb occurs several times in the i/A.D. edict OG1S 669, e.g. 27 ἐνετεύχθην δὲ καὶ περὶ τῶν ἀτελειῶν καὶ κουφοτελειῶν . . . λεγόντων ὕστερον κατακεκρίσθαι τὰ ὑπὸ ἰδιωτῶν πραχθέντα ἐν τῶι μέσωι χρόνωι μετὰ τὸ Φλάκκον κατακρεῖναι καὶ πρὸ τοῦ τὸν θεὸν Κλαύδιον ἀπολῦσαι : cf. also ib. 437 .82 (i/B.C.) τὸ κατακριθὲν πρασσέτωσαν παραχρῆμα . The distinction between κατακρίνω , condemn, and ἀνακρίνω , examine judicially, is well seen in Sus Th. 48 οὐκ ἀνακρίναντες οὐδὲ τὸ σαφὲς ἐπιγνόντες κατεκρίνατε θυγατέρα Ἰσραήλ ;
