He also tells of Jehovah’s deliverance of “righteous Lot ” in the time of Sodom, concluding:“ Jehovah knows how to deliver people of godly devotion out of trial, but to reserve unrighteous people for the day of judgment to be cut off. ” — 2 Peter 2: 5, 7 - 9.
Pēteris piemin arī to, ka Jehova izglāba ” taisno Latu ”, kad tika iznīcināta Sodoma, un rezumē: ” Tas Kungs prot izglābt dievbijīgos no kārdinājuma, bet netaisnus paturēt mokām soda dienā. ”
