LEB(i)
3 And in greediness they will exploit you with false words, whose condemnation from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but held them captive in Tartarus with chains of darkness and handed them over to be kept for judgment,
5 and did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a proclaimer of righteousness, ⌊and seven others⌋* when he* brought a flood on the world of the ungodly,
6 and condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes, having appointed them as an example for those who are going to be ungodly,
7 and rescued righteous Lot, worn down by the way of life of lawless persons in licentiousness
8 (for that righteous man, as he* lived among them day after day, was tormenting his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he was seeing and hearing),
9 then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to reserve the unrighteous to be punished at* the day of judgment,
