How we translate it

“Judgment” 41 times and “judgments” 2, as this edition’s glossary sets it (krisis / krinō = ‘judgment / judge’). When the Gospel quotes Isaiah 42 or speaks of what the law requires, it is rendered “justice” (4), as the glossary allows (“until he brings justice to victory”, Matthew 12:20; “justice and mercy and faithfulness”, 23:23). In John 5:27, “to carry out judgment”.
