ACC ~ 2 Peter 2 v6

ONE SIN MORE DISGUSTING THAN ANY OTHER. CHRYSOSTOM: Do you want to know why these things happened? There was one sin which was more wicked and disgusting than any other which those people were committing. It was because of that that God gave them this judgment. CATENA.

CONDEMNED TO EXTINCTION. SALVIAN THE PRESBYTER: God wished to proclaim the judgment that is to come when he sent fiery death from heaven upon a wicked people, setting an example for those who desire to lead wicked lives. ON THE GOVERNANCE OF GOD 1.8.

AN EXAMPLE TO THE UNGODLY. HESYCHIUS: Here is proof that all the ungodly will be punished. For Peter goes over the examples of Sodom and Gomorrah so that anyone who sees this will not behave wickedly, knowing that if he does so he will suffer the same kind of punishment as they did. CATENA.

REDUCED TO ASHES, THEN COVERED BY THE DEAD SEA. BEDE: The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah has two sides to it. First of all, the cities were reduced to ashes, and then the Dead Sea was made to go over the ruins, in which nothing can live. If God did that to visible cities, so that they would stand forever afterwards as an example of how he punishes the ungodly, it is clear that fire awaits the wicked in the spiritual realm and that the smoke of their torment will ascend forever. ON 2 PETER.
