[Esaias]

I'm not sure what you are asking here. The same word can have slight changes in its meaning depending on context and usage. Thus, krino has been translated as:

Properly to distinguish, that is, decide (mentally or judicially); by implication to try, condemn, punish: - avenge, conclude, condemn, ........, decree, determine, esteem, judge, go to (sue at the) law, ordain, call in question, sentence to, think.

So simply picking one word in English to represent all occurrences of a particular Greek word would actually hinder understanding, not promote it. Hope that makes sense?
