From this verse, the Word reaches
The same thread2 Peter 2:7
Peter names Lot righteous and distressed by the lawless life around him, and says God rescued him.
“and delivered righteous Lot, who was very distressed by the lustful life of the wickedAnd delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:”
In parallel withGenesis 18:23
Abraham had interceded for the city, and the rescue of Lot is the answer to that prayer.
“Abraham drew near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked?And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”

A pattern of (this verse)2 Peter 2:9
