*
And in their greed they will exploit you with false words ;
from of old their condemnation has not been idle ,
and their destruction has not been asleep .
*
For if God did not spare the angels when they sinned ,
but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of nether gloom to be kept until the judgment ;
*
if he did not spare the ancient world ,
but preserved Noah ,
a herald of righteousness ,
with seven other persons ,
when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly ;
*
if by turning the cities of Sodom and Gomor '
rah to ashes he condemned them to extinction and made them an example to those who were to be ungodly ;
*
and if he rescued righteous Lot ,
greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked
* (
for by what that righteous man saw and heard as he lived among them ,
he was vexed in his righteous soul day after day with their lawless deeds ),
*
then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial ,
and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment ,
