"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. "
— 2 Peter 2:8, Catholic Public Domain Version
“(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)”
“(for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds): ”
“(for that righteous man dwelling among them, was tormented in his righteous soul from day to day with seeing and hearing lawless deeds):”
“(for while he lived among them day after day, that righteous man was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)”
“For in sight and hearing he was just, dwelling among them who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.”
“(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):”
“(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)”
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;
whereas the Angels, who are greater in strength and virtue, did not bring against themselves such a deplorable judgment.
