2 Peter 2:5-9 ▼

5 And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious;

6 And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha having reduced to ashes, condemned with a catastrophe, a pattern set to them about to act irreligiously;

7 And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered:

8 (For the just one in seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, from day to day tried the just soul with lawless works;)

9 The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment;
