​2nd Peter 2:4-10

This is not an easy read. 
It is rooted in the idea of God’s utter horror of sin. Such is that horror that Peter reminds them of the old legend of the “fall of the angels” (sons of God, Genesis 6) in which those angels who disobeyed God (through lust) were consigned to the lowest depths of hell. Yes there was hell and hell’s basement: they were consigned to it without the possibility of ever being redeemed. This passage, heavy on condemnation (which might suit a 17th century cleric), is actually about those God saved, Noah, Lot and all who keep faith with God. (Remnant Theory- look it up)
Peter is telling his reader that despite untold sinfulness, the person who keeps faith with God will not be judged and condemned to hell. Hard going but one of the constant themes of biblical theology.
