δῐκαιο-κρῐσία G1341
Righteous judgment, just verdict, fair and equitable decision rendered according to divine or moral standards
A compound noun combining 'righteous' (δίκαιος) and 'judgment' (κρίσις), this term refers to judgment that is inherently fair and morally upright. Paul uses it in Romans 2:5 to describe the day of God's righteous judgment when His just verdicts will be revealed. The word emphasizes not merely any judgment, but specifically one that is ethically sound and divinely authorized. It appears in contexts where the justice of God's decisions is being emphasized.
