2 And many shall follow their shameful ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3 And through covetousness shall they with false words exploit you: whose judgment of old now lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not.
4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them by a catastrophe, making them an example unto those that later should live ungodly;
7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy behavior of the wicked:
8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
