What does 2 Peter say about Lot's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

2 Peter describes Lot as a 'righteous man' who was grieved by the wickedness around him.

In 2 Peter 2:7-9, our Lord explicitly refers to Lot as 'just' and 'righteous,' indicating that Lot's standing was not determined by his actions but by God's grace. Despite living in a wicked city, Lot's soul was vexed by the sinful conduct surrounding him, showcasing a deep sensitivity to sin and an aspiration for holiness. This portrayal teaches that true righteousness is recognized by God and is a testament to His grace, illustrated through the life of Lot who, while living among ungodly individuals, had a heart inclined toward God. Lot’s experiences serve to remind believers that they too can be righteous in a corrupt world, preserved by God's grace.
