Exegesis
The following clause, touto krinate mallon {τοῦτο κρίνατε μᾶλλον | toû-to krí-na-te mâl-lon}, shifts to the second person plural imperative krinate {κρίνατε | krí-na-te} “decide, judge,” with mallon {μᾶλλον | mâl-lon} “rather” strengthening the notion of a preferred, alternative kind of judgment.
In context — Romans 14:13
Therefore, let us no longer judge one another, but rather decide this: not to put a stumbling block or a snare before a brother.
