- krisis = a separating, a judgment, especially of judicial
proceedings. Our English word "crisis" means a turning point.

(2Pet. 2:11; Jude 9), and everywhere else "judgment".
- kriterion = the place, or means of judgment. It occurs
three times (1Cor. 6:2, 4; James 2:6) This word we have also adopted
into the English language as a "standard" for judging.
