Charles Spurgeon Commentary 2 Peter 2:5

"and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;" — 2 Peter 2:5 (ASV)

Which some today say could not be consistent with the acts of a God of love. Their imaginary deity, from whom they have taken away every glorious attribute of holiness and justice, would not have done this; but the God who judges righteously must and will punish sin, as he has always done; and this God is our God for ever and ever, even the God who is a consuming fire.
