Exegesis
The future middle verb lēmpsontai {λήμψονται | lḗm-pson-tai} ‘they will receive’ governs the object perissoteron krima {περισσότερον κρίμα | perissó-teron krí-ma} ‘greater judgment’, where the comparative adjective perissoteron intensifies the severity of krima, indicating a heightened level of condemnation in comparison with others. The English renderings mirror the Greek structure by keeping the relative description of conduct followed by the emphatic predictive sentence about the outcome, thereby preserving the rhetorical force that links hypocrisy and exploitation with escalated divine judgment.
Root and etymology
krinōkappa–rho–iota–nu–omega
“to judge, decide, separate”
In context — Luke 20:47
Those who devour the houses of widows and, for a pretense , make long prayers—these will receive greater judgment .
