2 Peter 2:4-9

4 For if God did not spare ^aangels when they sinned, but ^bcast them into hell ^{▼▼Greek Tartarus} and committed them to chains ^{▼▼Some manuscripts pits} of gloomy darkness ^eto be kept until the judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world, but ^fpreserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought ^ga flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 if by ^hturning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, ⁱmaking them an example of ^jwhat is going to happen to the ungodly; ^{▼▼Some manuscripts an example to those who were to be ungodly} 7 and ^lif he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked 8 (for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, ^mhe was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); 9 then ⁿthe Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials, ^{▼▼Or temptations} and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment,
