Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:26

Διὰ φιλοξενίαν καὶ εὐσέβειαν Λὼτ ἐσώθη ἐκ Σοδόμων, τῆς περιχώρου πάσης κριθείσης διὰ πυρὸς καὶ θείου, πρόδηλον ποιήσας ὁ δεσπότης, ὅτι τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπʼ αὐτὸν οὐκ ἐγκαταλείπει, τοὺς δὲ ἑτεροκλινεῖς ὑπάρχοντας εἰς κόλασιν καὶ αἰκισμὸν τίθησιν.

English · Claude translation

Because of his hospitality and godliness Lot was saved from Sodom, when the whole surrounding region was judged by fire and brimstone. The Master made it plain that he does not forsake those who hope in him, but hands over to punishment and torment those who turn aside.
