²⁴ Then the Lord ^(A)rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord out of heaven, ²⁵ and ^(B)He overthrew those cities, and all the surrounding area, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.

¹⁸ Like the ^(A)overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah with its neighbors,” says the Lord, “^(B)no one will live there, nor will ^[a]anyone of mankind reside in it.

^28 [a]It was the same as happened in ^(A)the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, and they were building; ²⁹ but on the day that Lot left Sodom, it rained fire and ^[b]brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. ³⁰ It will be ^[c]just the same on the day that the Son of Man ^(B)is revealed.

⁶ and if He ^(A)condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction by reducing them to ashes, having made them an ^(B)example ^[a]of what is coming for the ^(C)ungodly;

⁷ just as ^(A)Sodom and Gomorrah and the ^(B)cities around them, since they in the same way as these angels indulged in sexual perversion and ^(C)went after ^[a]strange flesh, are exhibited as an ^[b](D)example in undergoing the ^(E)punishment of eternal fire.
