This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Pe_2:7. Contrast to the divine justice in punishing, which is not to be found in Jude. Wiesinger: “The expansion of the thought, introduced by the mention antithetically of Noah, 2Pe_2:5, gains, by the co-ordination ( καί ) of the deliverance of Lot, independent value, and prepares the way for the double inference, 2Pe_2:9.”
καί ] has not here an adversative force (Jachmann), but is simply the copulative particle.
δίκαιον Λώτ ] δίκαιος here like δικαιοσύνη , 2Pe_2:5.
καταπονούμενον ] besides here, in Act_7:24 (2Ma_8:2, where, however, it is doubtful whether the reading should be καταπονούμενον or καταπατούμενον ); Pott, Schol. Soph. in Trachin. v. 328, verba: ἀλλʼ εἴεν ὠδινοῦσα exponit per καταπονουμένη .
ὑπὸ τῆς … ἐῤῥύσατο ] ὑπό belongs not to ἐῤῥύσατο , but to καταπον .; cf. Winer, p. 330 [E. T. 461];—with ἡ ἐν ἀσελγ . ἀναστροφή , cf. 1Pe_1:17.
ἀθέσμων , besides here only in chap. 2Pe_3:17 : homines nefarii, qui nec jus nec fas curant (Gerhard).
