6and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, having made them an example to those who would live ungodly;
7and 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):
9the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment to the day of judgment;
10but 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;
11whereas angels, though greater in might and power, don`t bring a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
12But these, as creatures without reason, born mere animals to be taken and destroyed, speaking evil in matters about which they are ignorant, will in their destroying surely be destroyed,
