Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

just--righteous. filthy conversation--literally, "behavior in licentiousness" (Ge 19:5). the wicked--Greek, "lawless": who set at defiance the laws of nature, as well as man and God. The Lord reminds us of Lot's faithfulness, but not of his sin in the cave: so in Rahab's case.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

There is no place nor state between the height of glory and the depth of misery in which they shall be allowed to rest. If creatures sin in heaven, they must suffer in hell. Sin is the work of darkness, and darkness is the wages of sin.
