"And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked. "
— 2 Peter 2:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:”
“and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life 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 God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto judgment.
And he did not spare the original world, but he preserved the eighth one, Noah, the herald of justice, bringing the flood upon the world of the impious.
And he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemning them to be overthrown, setting them as an example to anyone who might act impiously.
And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked.
For in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
Thus, the Lord knows how to rescue the pious from trials, and how to reserve the iniquitous for torments on the day of judgment;
even more so, those who walk after the flesh in unclean desires, and who despise proper authority. Boldly pleasing themselves, they do not dread to introduce divisions by blaspheming;
