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.
