But Lot was confused {and did not hurry to leave}. So the two men (angels) held the hands of Lot and his wife and his two daughters. The two men led Lot and his family out of the city safely. The Lord was kind to Lot and his family.

A message to the prophets:\par I am very sad—my heart is broken.\par All my bones are shaking.\par I (Jeremiah) am like a man that is drunk.\par Why? Because of the Lord\par and his holy words.\par
The only temptations that you have are the same temptations that all people have. But you can trust God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bear. But when you are tempted, God will also give you a way to escape that temptation. Then you will be able to endure it.
Those false teachers boast with words that mean nothing. They lead people into the trap \{of sin\}. They lead away people who are just beginning to come away from other people who live wrong. Those false teachers do this by using the evil things people want to do in their sinful selves.
Dear friends, you already know about this. So be careful. Don’t let those evil people lead you away by the wrong things they do. Be careful so that you will not fall from your strong \{faith\}.
