American Standard Version
"and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked "
— 2 Peter 2:7, American Standard Version
“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:”
“and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wicked”
“and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man in anguish over the debauched lifestyle of lawless men,”
“And delivered just Lot, oppressed by the injustice and lewd conversation of the wicked:”
“And kept safe Lot, the upright man, who was deeply troubled by the unclean life of the evil-doers”
“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:”
For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;
and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly;
and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked
(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds):
the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;
but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:
