4 Because if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but delivered them into chains of darkness, confining them in Tartarus to be reserved for judgment,
5 and did not spare the ancient world but preserved Noah, with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, 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 (providing a warning to those who are intent on being ungodly),
7 while He rescued upright Lot, who was distressed by the licentious lifestyle of the wicked
8 (for that upright man, dwelling among them, tormented an upright soul from day to day by seeing and hearing lawless deeds)
9 —then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,
