2. And many persons will follow their indulgences; through such persons, the way of truth will be blasphemed.
3. And in avarice, they will negotiate about you with false words. Their judgment, in the near future, is not delayed, and their perdition does not sleep.
4. For God did not spare those Angels who sinned, but instead delivered them, as if dragged down by infernal ropes, into the torments of the underworld, to be reserved unto judgment.
5. And he did not spare the original world, but he preserved the eighth one, Noah, the herald of justice, bringing the flood upon the world of the impious.
6. And he reduced the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to ashes, condemning them to be overthrown, setting them as an example to anyone who might act impiously.
7. And he rescued a just man, Lot, who was oppressed by the unjust and lewd behavior of the wicked.
8. For in seeing and in hearing, he was just, though he lived with those who, from day to day, crucified the just soul with works of iniquity.
