2:7–8

There was only one man living in Sodom who was not wicked. That was Lot. The wicked way the other people living in Sodom behaved saddened him, and God rescued him from the city before he burned it.

2:7b

distressed: This is a strong word which means “very upset, troubled.” Try to find a strong idiom in your language.

depraved conduct: This is the same word that Berean Standard Bible translated as “depravity” in verse 2. See the note on 2:2a.

the lawless: This refers to people who ignored the laws (human laws and God’s laws) and behaved as they wanted to.
