Summary: Lot's wife became a warning against doubt.

Greek text · Lake, LCL 24:26

συνεξελθούσης γὰρ αὐτῷ τῆς γυναικὸς ἑτερογνώμονος ὑπαρχούσης καὶ οὐκ ἐν ὁμονοίᾳ, εἰς τοῦτο σημεῖον ἐτέθη, ὥστε γενέσθαι αὐτὴν στήλην ἁλὸς ἕως τῆς ἡμέρας ταύτης, εἰς τὸ γνωστὸν εἶναι πᾶσιν, ὅτι οἱ δίψυχοι καὶ οἱ διστάζοντες περὶ τῆς τοῦ θεοῦ δυνάμεως εἰς κρίμα καὶ εἰς σημείωσιν πάσαις ταῖς γενεαῖς γίνονται.

English · Claude translation

For his wife, who went out with him, was of a different mind and not in concord, and was made a sign of this, so that she became a pillar of salt to this day, to make known to all that the double-minded and those who doubt the power of God become a judgment and a warning to all generations.
