From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Damnation       in Rom. 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 1 Cor. 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 Rom. 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.
