κρίμα kríma · G2917 · to decide a legal question, to act as a judge, making a legal decision
κρίμα is the standard Greek term for a judicial decision or verdict, sharing the core sense of a formal judgment. While ἀπόκριμα (occurring only once in 2 Cor 1:9) emphasizes the finality of a sentence or verdict pronounced, κρίμα is the more common term for any judicial decision or decree.
ψῆφος psēphos · G5586 · pebble, small stone
ψῆφος can denote a judicial verdict or decision (as in Acts 26:10), particularly in the sense of a vote or formal determination. It overlaps with ἀπόκριμα in referring to an official decision, though ψῆφος more specifically connotes the act of voting or casting judgment.
