Footnotes
κρίσις (krisis) = "judgment/verdict" — the decisive crisis-point, the moment of separation and disclosure. The arrival of light does not manufacture condemnation; it reveals and exposes what was already present in the dark. The word echoes the primal act of creation (Genesis 1:4) where light was separated from darkness — the same act now playing out in the moral and spiritual realm. The F.O.G. uses "judgement" (the judicial process); the F.O.G.M. uses "verdict" (the declared outcome).
