2 Peter 2:6-9

6and if He 1condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an 2example 3of what is coming for the 4ungodly;

7and if He 5rescued righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the 6perverted conduct of 7 8unscrupulous people

8(for by what he saw and heard that 9righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

9 10then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from 11a trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the 12day of judgment,
