2 Peter 2:4–11

⁴For if God did not spare ^uangels when they sinned, but ^vcast them into hell¹ and committed them to chains² of gloomy darkness ^wto be kept until the judgment; ⁵if he did not spare the ancient world, but ^xpreserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought ^ya flood upon the world of the ungodly; ⁶if by ^zturning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes he condemned them to extinction, ^amaking them an example of ^bwhat is going to happen to the ungodly;^{3 7}and ^cif he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensual conduct of the wicked ⁸(for as that righteous man lived among them day after day, ^dhe was tormenting his righteous soul over their lawless deeds that he saw and heard); ⁹then ^ethe Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials,⁴ and to keep the unrighteous under punishment until the day of judgment, ¹⁰and especially ^fthose who indulge⁵ in the lust of defiling passion and ^gdespise authority.

Bold and willful, they do not tremble ^gas they blaspheme the glorious ones, ^11hwhereas angels, though greater in might and power, do not pronounce a blasphemous judgment against them before the Lord.
