“Observe further that the word judgment (γνώμη) is used in many ways and in many senses. Sometimes it signifies exhortation: as when the divine apostle says, Now concerning virgins I have no commandment of the Lord; yet I give my judgment 1 Corinthians 7:25: sometimes it means counsel, as when the prophet David says, They have taken crafty counsel against Your people: sometimes it means a decree, as when we read in Daniel, Concerning whom (or, what) went this shameless decree forth? At other times it is used in the sense of belief, or opinion, or purpose, and, to put it shortly, the word judgment has twenty-eight different meanings.”. St. John Damascene,  Exposition of the Orthodox Faith, Bk. III, Ch. 14
