Justification

CRITICAL: Modern Greek ‘δικαίωση’ is very commonly used colloquially for simple personal vindication (‘τελικά δικαιώθηκα,’ ‘I was proven right in the end’), a substantially weaker, secular sense than Paul’s forensic declaration of righteousness before God. This is semantic erosion through ordinary modern usage, not doctrinal corruption from a rival religious system.
