2 Peter 2:4-9

4For 1ifG1487 GodG2316 did not spareG5339 angelsG32 when they sinnedG264, but castG5020 them intoG5020 2hellG5020 and 3committedG3860 them to 4pitsG4618 of darknessG2217, heldG5083 for judgmentG2920;

5and did not spareG5339 5the ancientG744 worldG2889, but protectedG5442 6NoahG3575, a 7preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, with sevenG3590 othersG3590, when He broughtG1863 a 8floodG2627 uponG1863 the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;

6and if He 9condemnedG2632 the citiesG4172 of SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 to destructionG2692 by reducingG5077 them toG5077 ashesG5077, having madeG5087 them an 10exampleG5262 11of whatG3195 isG3195 comingG3195 for the 12ungodlyG765;

7and if He 13rescuedG4506 righteousG1342 LotG3091, who was oppressedG2669 by the 14pervertedG766 conductG391 of 15 16unscrupulousG113 peopleG113

8(for by whatG990 he sawG990 and heardG189 that 17righteousG1342 manG1342, while livingG1460 amongG1722 them, feltG928 his righteousG1342 soulG5590 tormentedG928 dayG2250 afterG1537 dayG2250 by their lawlessG459 deedsG2041),

9 18then the LordG2962 knowsG3609 howG3609 to rescueG4506 the godlyG2152 from 19a trialG3986, and to keepG5083 the unrighteousG94 underG2849 punishmentG2849 for the 20dayG2250 of judgmentG2920,
