Thayer's Greek Lexicon
ἀνακρίνω; 1 aorist ἀνέκρινα; passive (present ἀνακρίνομαι); 1 aorist ἀνεκρίθην; (frequent in Greek writings, especially Attic); properly, "by looking through a series (ἀνά) of objects or particulars to distinguish (κρίνω) or search after. Hence,
a. to investigate, examine, inquire into, scrutinize, sift, question": Act 17:11 (τάς γραφάς); 1Co 10:25; 1Co 10:27 (not anxiously questioning, namely, whether the meat set before you be the residue from heathen sacrifices). Specifically, in a forensic sense (often also in Greek writings) of a judge, to hold an investigation; to interrogate, examine, the accused or the witnesses; absolutely: Luk 23:14; Act 24:8. τινα, Act 12:19; Act 28:18; passive, Act 4:9. Paul has in mind this judicial use (as his preceding term ἀπολογία shows) when in 1Co 9:3 he speaks of τοῖς ἐμέ ἀνακρίνουσί, investigating me, whether I am a true apostle.
b. universally, to judge of, estimate, determine (the excellence or defects of any person or thing): τί, 1Co 2:15; τινα, 1Co 4:3 f; passive, 1Co 2:1-16:(),; . (Cf. Lightfoot Fresh Revision, etc. iv. § 3 (p. 67f, American edition).)
