2 Peter 2:7

Delivered. Or, “rescued.” As God saved Noah from the Flood, so He rescued Lot and his family from the holocaust that consumed Sodom (Gen. 19:15, 16). Although Peter is primarily concerned with the certainty of divine judgments, he is careful also to emphasize the Lord’s merciful acts.

Just. Gr. dikaios (see on Matt. 1:19). The word occurs twice in 2 Peter 2:8, where it is translated “righteous.”

Vexed. Gr. kataponed, “to tire down with toil,” giving the picture of Lot’s being utterly worn out and disgusted by the immorality of the people of Sodom. In v. 8 a different Greek word is also translated “vexed.”

Conversation. Gr. anastrophe, “conduct,” “behavior.” Anastrophe is used 6 times in 1 Peter and twice in this epistle (here and in ch. 3:11).

Wicked. Gr. athesmoi, from a, “without,” and thesmoi, “laws,” “ordinances,” hence, “lawless ones”; usually those who rebel against divine ordinances. Athesmoi occurs only here and in ch. 3:17 in the NT.
