2 Peter 2:5-9

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

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

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

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

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