2 Peter 2:6-9 ▼

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

7 and if He rescued righteous Lot, who was tormented by the immoral conduct of unprincipled and ungodly men

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

9 then [in light of the fact that all this is true, be sure that] the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
