2 Peter 2:5-8

^6 (B) God punished the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah^[a] by burning them to ashes, and this is a warning to anyone else who wants to sin.

^7-8 (C) Lot lived right and was greatly troubled by the terrible way those wicked people were living. He was a good man, and day after day he suffered because of the evil things he saw and heard. So the Lord rescued him.
