In 1 John 3:20-21, heart (KARDIA καρδία) is used with condemn
(KATAGINWSKW καταγινώσκω) twice. Many commentators interpret it as
something like "conscience," it is reasonable as a heart that could
condemn is very similar to conscience. However, there's another word
in Greek for conscience, and in no lexicon does KARDIA mean
conscience. Is there any similar usage of KARDIA (i.e. used with a
verb similar to KATAGINWSKW) in other Greek literatures that I could
compare with?

Many thanks,

John Lee
