Morphological Data¶

The sole NT occurrence is in the genitive singular feminine: δικαιοκρισίας (dikaiokrisias) — [N-GSF]. The genitive is appositional/descriptive, qualifying "revelation" (ἀποκαλύψεως): the day reveals what kind of judgment God renders.

Semantic Categories¶

As a hapax legomenon, dikaiokrisia has only one attestation. However, the single context is rich:

1. God's Eschatological Righteous Judgment¶

Romans 2:5 — "But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God"

The word appears in a phrase linking three concepts: (a) a future day, (b) divine wrath, and (c) revealed righteous judgment. The context (Rom 2:1–9) establishes that this judgment is impartial (Jew and Gentile alike, v. 9), based on deeds (v. 6), and the ultimate counterpart to present forbearance (v. 4).
