2 Peter 2:4-9
4For 1ifG1487 GodG2316 did not spareG5339 angelsG32 when they sinnedG264, but castG5020 them into hellG5020 and 2committedG3860 them to pitsG4618 of darknessG2217, reservedG5083 for judgmentG2920;
5and did not spareG5339 3the ancientG744 worldG2889, but preservedG5442 4NoahG3575, a 5preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, with sevenG3590 othersG3590, when He broughtG1863 a 6floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
6and if He 7condemnedG2632 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 to destructionG2692 by reducingG5077 them to ashesG5077, having madeG5087 them an 8exampleG5262 to those who wouldG3195 9liveG764 ungodlyG764 lives thereafterG3195;
7and if He 10rescuedG4506 righteousG1342 LotG3091, oppressedG2669 by the 11sensualG766 conductG391 of 12unprincipledG113 menG113
8(for by whatG990 he sawG990 and heardG189 that 13righteousG1342 manG1342, while livingG1460 amongG1722 them, feltG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 tormentedG928 dayG2250 afterG1537 dayG2250 by their lawlessG459 deedsG2041),
914then the LordG2962 knowsG3609 howG3609 to rescueG4506 the godlyG2152 from 15temptationG3986, and to keepG5083 the unrighteousG94 under punishmentG2849 for the 16dayG2250 of judgmentG2920,
