2 Peter 2:9 in context
- 7and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life 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 lawless deeds):
- 9the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment;
- 10but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:
- 11whereas angels, though greater in might and power, bring not a railing judgment against them before the Lord.
