rsv 2Peter:2:3-9
rsv@2Peter:2:3 @ 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.
rsv@2Peter:2:4 @ 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;
rsv@2Peter:2:5 @ 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;
rsv@2Peter:2:6 @ 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;
rsv@2Peter:2:7 @ and if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the licentiousness of the wicked
rsv@2Peter:2:8 @ (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),
rsv@2Peter:2:9 @ then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
