Reference: Damnation
American
The state of being excluded from God's mercy, and condemned to the everlasting punishment of the wicked. This is now the sense of the word damnation, in our language; but at the time when the Bible was translated, it signified the same as condemnation. The words damn and damnation ought therefore be still so understood, in such passages as Ro 13:2; 14:23; 1Co 11:29.

in Ro 13:2, means "condemnation," which comes on those who withstand God's ordinance of magistracy. This sentence of condemnation comes not from the magistrate, but from God, whose authority is thus resisted.
In 1Co 11:29 (R.V., "judgment") this word means condemnation, in the sense of exposure to severe temporal judgements from God, as the following verse explains.
In Ro 14:23 the word "damned" means "condemned" by one's own conscience, as well as by the Word of God. The apostle shows here that many things which are lawful are not expedient; and that in using our Christian liberty the question should not simply be, Is this course I follow lawful? but also, Can I follow it without doing injury to the spiritual interests of a brother in Christ? He that "doubteth", i.e., is not clear in his conscience as to "meats", will violate his conscience "if he eat," and in eating is condemned; and thus one ought not so to use his liberty as to lead one who is "weak" to bring upon himself this condemnation.

The words 'damn,' 'damnable,' and 'damnation' have, through their use in the literature of theology, come to express condemnation to everlasting punishment. But in the English Bible they mean no more than is now expressed by 'condemn' or 'condemnation.' In some places a better translation than 'condemnation' is 'judgment,' as in Joh 5:29 'the resurrection of damnation' (Gr. krisis, RV 'judgment'). See Judgment.
