Below are articles from the following dictionary:
Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
1 Strong's Number: g2920 Greek: krisis

Judgment:

primarily denotes "a separating," then, "a decision, judgment," most frequently in a forensic sense, and especially of Divine "judgment." For the variety of its meanings, with references, see CONDEMNATION, B, No. 3.

Notes:

(1) The Holy Spirit, the Lord said, would convict the world of (peri, "in respect of"), i.e., of the actuality of, God's "judgment," Jhn 16:8, 11. Cp. 2Th 1:5.

(2) In Rom 2:5 the word dikaiokrisia, "righteous judgment," combines the adjective dikaios, "righteous," with krisis, the two words which are used separately in 2Th 1:5.

2 Strong's Number: g2917 Greek: krima

Judgment:

denotes the result of the action signified by the verb krino, "to judge;" for its general significance see CONDEMNATION, B, No. 1: it is used

(a) of a decision passed on the faults of others, Mat 7:2;

(b) of "judgment" by man upon Christ, Luk 24:20;

(c) of God's "judgment" upon men, e.g., Rom 2:2, 3; 3:8; 5:16; 11:33; 13:2; 1Cr 11:29; Gal 5:10; Hbr 6:2; Jam 3:1; through Christ, e.g., Jhn 9:39;

(d) of the right of "judgment," Rev 20:4;

(e) of a lawsuit, 1Cr 6:7.

3 Strong's Number: g2250 Greek: hemera

Judgment:

"a day," is translated "judgment" in 1Cr 4:3, where "man's judgment" (lit., "man's day," marg.) is used of the present period in which man's mere "judgment" is exercised, a period of human rebellion against God. The adjective anthropinos, "human, belonging to man" (anthropos), is doubtless set in contrast here to kuriakos, "belonging to the Lord" (kurios, "a lord"), which is used in the phrase "the Day of the Lord," in Rev 1:10, "The Lord's Day," a period of Divine judgments.
See DAY.

4 Strong's Number: g1106 Greek: gnome

Judgment:

primarily "a means of knowing" (akin to ginosko, "to know"), came to denote "a mind, understanding;" hence

(a) "a purpose," Act 20:3, lit., "(it was his) purpose;"

(b) "a royal purpose, a decree," Rev 17:17, RV, "mind" (AV, "will");

(c) "judgment, opinion," 1Cr 1:10, "(in the same) judgment;" Rev 17:13, "mind;"

(d) "counsel, advice," 1Cr 7:25, "(I give my) judgment;" 1Cr 7:40, "(after my) judgment;" Phm 1:14, "mind."
See MIND, PURPOSE, WILL.

Notes:

(1) In 1Cr 6:4, AV, kriterion, "a tribunal," is rendered "judgments" (RV, "to judge," marg., "tribunals").
See JUDGE, B, No. 3, Note (1).

(2) In Rom 1:32, AV, dikaioma, "an ordinance, righteous act," is translated "judgment" (RV "ordinance"); in Rev 15:4, "judgments" (RV, "righteous acts").

(3) In Act 25:15, AV, katadike, "a sentence, condemnation," is translated "judgment" (RV, "sentence"). Some mss. have dike.
See SENTENCE.

(4) In Phl 1:9, AV, aisthesis, "perception, discernment," is translated "judgment" (RV, "discernment").

(5) In Act 21:25, in the record of the decree from the Apostles and elders at Jerusalem to the churches of the Gentiles, the verb krino (see JUDGE, B, No. 1), is translated "giving judgment," RV (AV, "concluded").

5 Adjective Strong's Number: g5267 Greek: hupodikos

Judgment:

"brought to trial, answerable to" (hupo, "under," dike, "justice"), Rom 3:19, is translated "under the judgment," RV (AV, "guilty").
