'Lawless' in the Bible

and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man who was greatly distressed by the immoral conduct of lawless people

for as long as that righteous man lived among them, day after day he was being tortured in his righteous soul by what he saw and heard in their lawless actions

And so, dear friends, since you already know these things, continuously be on your guard not to be carried away by the deception of lawless people. Otherwise, you may fall from your secure position.
