2 Peter 2:9 Context
7And deliuered iust Lot, vexed with the filthy conuersation of the wicked: 8(For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing & hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day, with their vnlawfull deeds.) 9The Lord knoweth how to deliuer the godly out of temptations, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement to be punished: 10But chiefly them that walke after the flesh in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernment. Presumptuous are they; selfe willed: they are not afraid to speake euill of dignities: 11Whereas Angels which are greater in power and might, bring not railing accusation against them before the Lord.
