2 Peter 2:4-10 (ESV) 4For if God did not spareangels when they sinned, butcast them into helland committed them to chainsof gloomy darknessto be kept until the judgment;5if he did not spare the ancient world, butpreserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he broughta flood upon the world of the ungodly;6if byturning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction,making them an example ofwhat is going to happen to the ungodly;7andif he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked8(for as that righteous man lived among them day after day,he was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard);9thenthe Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,10and especiallythose who indulgein the lust of defiling passion anddespise authority. Bold and willful, they do not trembleas they blaspheme the glorious ones,
