“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:”
And if he rescued righteous Lot, greatly distressed by the sensuality of the wicked — Lot's distress (kataponeō) over the depravity surrounding him demonstrates that proximity to wickedness without participation produces suffering. His rescue (rhyomai) is individual rather than communal; righteousness does not prevent hardship but ensures deliverance. The moral sensitivity to sexual wickedness (aselgeia) marks the righteous even in corrupt environments.
