Damnation
There are exactly 11 verses (in the KJV).
In 3 of the 11, it is directed towards none other than the Scribes & Pharisees.
What is damnation?
koine ktisis =
1. Judgment
2. A separation.
3. A decision given (right or wrong).
4. Condemnation & penalty.
Koine krima =
1. A decree.
2. Condemnation of wrong (mild or severe).
3. That to which one is sentenced.
not near as scary in the Greek as in English
The fact is judgment of our Father God is good. It brings us into at-one-ment with His mind, heart and ways. The koine for judgment and damnation are in the same realm and ensuing objective.
Damnation = krima =
A decision given.
Sentence of condemnation and punishnent.
A trial/ contest.
Judgment = ktisis =
A decision given.
Sentence of condemnation and punishment.

I have found a lot of words and phrases in the KJV to be amped up from the Greek. For instance, I have seen "condemnation" in the KJV, but it was footnoted as "judgment." Also, "damnation" footnoted as mere "condemnation."
What a devolution -from the kind words of Paul to the fear-rhetoric of Jonathan Edwards.
