Notes

2 Peter 2:5

The second example of judgment is that God did not spare the ancient world during the time of Noah. In the great flood, God destroyed all human life except for Noah and his family (see Genesis 6–8).

2 Peter 2:4–10

Three examples of judgment in the Old Testament show that God will protect and vindicate people who remain faithful to him. These examples also show that God will condemn those who deny him, including the false teachers (see 2:3).
