RBT Translation:
κριτήρια kritēria - standard/test/criterion of truth
But you, yourselves have failed to honor the Cowering One! Are not the Wealthy Ones tyrannizing yourselves and they, themselves dragging yourselves down into criterions?2
Julia Smith Literal 1876 Translation:
And ye have despised the beggar. Do not the rich bring you into subjection, and draw you before tribunals?
LITV Translation:
But you dishonored the poor one. Do not the rich ones oppress you, and they drag you to judgment seats?

I. Philosophical sense Faculty of judgment (the internal power to discern). Plutarch, Moralia 448b: used for the human faculty that evaluates or makes distinctions. Standard of truth (criterion, test). Plato, Theaetetus 178b: refers to a criterion for discerning true vs. false. Later philosophers (esp. Stoics, Epicureans, Skeptics) debated the κριτήριον τῆς ἀληθείας = criterion of truth.
