2 Peter 2:4-9

4For 1if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and 2committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

5and did not spare 3the ancient world, but preserved 4Noah, a 5preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a 6flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6and if He 7condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an 8example to those who would 9live ungodly lives thereafter;

7and if He 10rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the 11sensual conduct of 12unprincipled men

8(for by what he saw and heard that 13righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

9 14then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from 15temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the 16day of judgment,
