Background on Hesychius of Jerusalem
In his own words on 2 Peter
- 2 Peter 2:6
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
- 2 Peter 2:7
Peter adds the story of Lot to his other examples in order to teach us that it is possible to avoid doing evil and thus to escape from the punishment which they will receive.
