Context of Luke 17:31
29but in the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all: 30after the same manner shall it be in the day that the Son of man is revealed. In that day, he that shall be on the housetop, and his goods in the house, let him not go down to take them away: and let him that is in the field likewise not return back. 32Remember Lot’s wife. 33Whosoever shall seek to gain his life shall lose it: but whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
