Severus of Antioch, on 2Pet 2:8
Severus of Antioch · c. A.D. 456–538
2Pet 2:8 · Douay-Rheims
“For in sight and hearing he was just: dwelling among them, who from day to day vexed the just soul with unjust works.”
On this verse:
“We need to be clearly convinced that our distress at such evil deeds and our compassion for those who suffer earns the greatest reward with God and guarantees acceptance with him. All the more so, because in the face of what often appears to be an overwhelming, threatening wrath, the mental equilibrium of those who are overcome with grief is lost. This is why Peter wrote about Lot in this way.”
