Exegesis
The clause kai sy kathe krinōn me kata ton nomon {καὶ σὺ κάθῃ κρίνων με κατὰ τὸν νόμον | kaí sý ká-thē krí-nōn me katá ton nó-mon} presents a contrastive coordination: the finite verb kathe {κάθῃ | ká-thē} (“you sit”) is modified by the participle krinōn {κρίνων | krí-nōn} (“judging”), and the prepositional phrase kata ton nomon {κατὰ τὸν νόμον | ka-tá tón nó-mon} specifies the claimed standard of legal judgment.
Root and etymology
krinōkappa–rho–iota–nu–omega
“to separate, decide, judge”
In context — Acts 23:3
Then Paul said to him, “God is about to strike you, you whitewashed wall . You are sitting to judge me according to the law, and while breaking the law you command me to be struck.”
