8But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully,

9knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

10for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

11according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust.

12And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord who has enabled me, because He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,

13although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and an insolent man; but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.

14And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

26And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man:

27They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

28Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built;

29but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all.

30Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.

31'In that day, he who is on the housetop, and his goods are in the house, let him not come down to take them away. And likewise the one who is in the field, let him not turn back.

32Remember Lot's wife.

33Whoever seeks to save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it.

34I tell you, in that night there will be two men in one bed: the one will be taken and the other will be left.

35Two women will be grinding together: the one will be taken and the other left.

36Two men will be in the field: the one will be taken and the other left.'

37And they answered and said to Him, 'Where, Lord?' So He said to them, 'Wherever the body is, there the eagles will be gathered together.'
