For if God spared not the angels having sinned, but delivered up, hurled into Tartarus, to cords of darkness, having been kept for judgment; And spared not the old world, but Noah the eighth, a herald of justice, he watched, having brought an inundation upon the world of the irreligious; And the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha having reduced to ashes, condemned with a catastrophe, a pattern set to them about to act irreligiously; And just Lot, being harassed by the licentiousness of the lawless for the turning back, he delivered: (For the just one in seeing and hearing, dwelling among them, from day to day tried the just soul with lawless works;) The Lord knows to deliver the religious out of temptation, and to keep the unjust restrained for the day of judgment; And chiefly them going after the flesh in eager desire of defilement, and despising dominion.

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: in truth and in uprightness he went with me, and he turned back many from iniquity.
