Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 2Pet 2:9

“The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly from temptation, but to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be tormented.”

“knoweth how--He is at no loss for means, even when men see no escape. out of--not actually from. temptations--trials. to be punished--Greek, "being punished": as the fallen angels (Pe2 2:4), actually under sentence, and awaiting its final execution. Sin is already its own penalty; hell will be its full development.”
