Exegesis
Finally, krima {κρίμα | krí-ma} is the direct object of the future middle lempsontai {λήμψονται | lḗmp-son-tai}, underscoring that judgment returns on those who resist.
In context — Romans 13:2
So then, whoever resists the authority is opposing what God has ordained, and those who oppose it will receive judgment upon themselves.
