Previous Chapter Previous Verse Full Chapter Next Verse Next Chapter
5 and didn`t 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 turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;
7 and delivered righteous Lot, very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, tormented his righteous soul from day to day with lawless deeds):
9 the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;
10 but chiefly those who walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise authority. Daring, self-willed, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries;
11 whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don`t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
