not a novice, that he may not, being inflated, fall into the faulth of the devil.

Krima is the subject-matter of which a person had to be accused. They set up the krima of the Lord on the cross; that for which he came into accusation -- the charge. So it is used here. The devil was puffed up with his own excellency, and abode not in the truth. Hence, in a strongly taken sense, our word "crime." See also Note on 1 Cor. 11.29.

Or "judgment." "Condemnation" is too strong an expression and not the sense intended.
