2 Peter 2:4-9 For if God did not spare sinning angels, but cast them in chains, into deep, dark dungeons to await judgment;

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁴ For if God did not spare sinning angels, but cast them in chains, into deep, dark dungeons to await judgment; ⁵ and if He did not spare the ancient world of Noah’s day, when He brought a flood on those ungodly people (though Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven other people, were saved from it); ⁶ and if God also condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by reducing them to ashes, thereby condemning them to catastrophic destruction, and making them an example to other ungodly people in the future; ⁷ and if He rescued the righteous man Lot, who had become very disturbed by unrestrained wickedness [of the people there in Sodom]. ⁸ (For, being a righteous man living among them, Lot’s righteous spirit was very disturbed every day by the wickedness he heard and saw), ⁹ then the Lord [surely] knows how to rescue godly people from trying situations, and to keep unrighteous people under [a sentence of] punishment [to be received] on the judgment day.
