2 Pedro 2:8

8 Así es, Lot era un hombre recto atormentado en su alma por la perversión que veía y oía a diario.

2 Pedro 2:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Peter 2:8

For that righteous man dwelling among them
Which is sometimes the lot of good men, to their great sorrow and grief, ( Psalms 120:5-7 ) ( Isaiah 6:5 ) . Upon mentioning those words in ( Genesis 13:12 Genesis 13:13 ) "and pitched his tent towards Sodom", but the men of Sodom were wicked, &c. says R. Eleazar ^F9;

``he is a righteous man that dwells between two wicked men, and does not learn their works;''

and such an one was Lot, whatever they are elsewhere pleased to say of him: "in seeing and hearing"; the Vulgate Latin version reads this in connection with the word "righteous", thus, "in seeing and hearing he was righteous": he could not bear to see their filthy actions, and hear their obscene language, but turned away from them, and shut his eyes, and stopped his ears, by which he appears to be a righteous and good man; though rather this belongs to what follows, seeing their wicked practices, and hearing their filthy talk:

vexed his righteous soul from, day today with their unlawful deeds;
either "they vexed" him, as the Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic versions read; or rather "he vexed" himself; he fretted and teased himself, and became exceeding uneasy, and was put upon a rack and tortured, as the word signifies, continually, with their wicked actions; see ( Psalms 119:158 ) .

2 Pedro 2:8 In-Context

6 Tiempo después, Dios condenó las ciudades de Sodoma y Gomorra, y las redujo a montones de cenizas. Las puso como ejemplo de lo que le sucederá a la gente que vive sin Dios.

7 Sin embargo, Dios también rescató a Lot y lo sacó de Sodoma, porque Lot era un hombre recto que estaba harto de la vergonzosa inmoralidad de la gente perversa que lo rodeaba.

8 Así es, Lot era un hombre recto atormentado en su alma por la perversión que veía y oía a diario.

9 Como ven, el Señor sabe rescatar de las pruebas a todos los que viven en obediencia a Dios, al mismo tiempo que mantiene castigados a los perversos hasta el día del juicio final.

10 Él trata con particular severidad a los que se entregan a sus propios deseos sexuales pervertidos y desprecian la autoridad.
Estas personas son orgullosas y arrogantes, y hasta se atreven a insultar a los seres sobrenaturales
sin ni siquiera temblar.
