2PE 2:9

9 And since the Lord God [rescued Lot, you can be sure that] he knows how to rescue ◄other godly people/people whose lives please him► from their sufferings, and [he is able] to preserve ◄ungodly [people/people whose lives do not please him]►, [whom he has started to] punish even now, until the time when he will [finish judging them and punish] them.
