2 Peter 2:4-7

4For 1if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into 2hell and 3committed them to 4pits of darkness, held for judgment;

5and did not spare 5the ancient world, but protected 6Noah, a 7preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when He brought a 8flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6and if He 9condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an 10example 11of what is coming for the 12ungodly;

7and if He 13rescued righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the 14perverted conduct of 15 16unscrupulous people
