Easton's Bible Dictionary

 Romans 13:2

In  1 Corinthians 11:29 (RSV, "judgment") this word means condemnation, in the sense of exposure to severe temporal judgements from God, as the following verse explains.

In   Romans 14:23 the word "damned" means "condemned" by one's own conscience, as well as by the Word of God. The apostle shows here that many things which are lawful are not expedient; and that in using our Christian liberty the question should not simply be, Is this course I follow lawful? but also, Can I follow it without doing injury to the spiritual interests of a brother in Christ? He that "doubteth", i.e., is not clear in his conscience as to "meats", will violate his conscience "if he eat," and in eating is condemned; and thus one ought not so to use his liberty as to lead one who is "weak" to bring upon himself this condemnation.

Charles Buck Theological Dictionary

Condemnation. This word is used to denote the final loss of the soul; but it is not always to be understood in this sense in the sacred Scripture. Thus it is said in  Romans 13:2 . "They that resist shall receive to themselves damnation, " 1:e. condemnaion, "from the rulers, who are not a terror to good works, but to the evil." Again, in  1 Corinthians 11:29 . "He that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself;" 1: e. condemnation; exposes himself to severe temporal judgments from God, and to the judgment and censure of the wise and good. Again,  Romans 14:23 . "He that doubteth is damned if he eat;" 1:e. is condemned both by his own conscience, and the word of God, because he is far from being satisified that he is right in so doing.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Damnation . The words ‘damn,’ ‘damnable,’ and ‘damnation’ have, through their use in the literature of theology, come to express condemnation to everlasting punishment . But in the English Bible they mean no more than is now expressed by ‘condemn’ or ‘condemnation.’ In some places a better translation than ‘condemnation’ is ‘judgment,’ as in   John 5:29 ‘the resurrection of damnation’ (Gr. krisis , RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘judgment’). See Judgment.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

The state of being excluded from God's mercy, and condemned to the everlasting punishment of the wicked. This is now the sense of the word damnation, in our language; but at the time when the Bible was translated, it signified the same as condemnation. The words damn and damnation ought therefore be still so understood, in such passages as  Romans 13:2   14:23   1 Corinthians 11:29 .

Webster's Dictionary
