Exegesis
This is followed by the circumstantial participle epaxas {ἐπάξας | epáxas} ‘having brought’, which takes kataklusmon {κατακλυσμὸν | kataklysmón} ‘flood’ and the dative kosmō asebōn {κόσμῳ ἀσεβῶν | kósmō asebôn} ‘world of the ungodly’ to express the means and target of divine judgment alongside deliverance. The implicit subject of both finite verbs and the participle is God, represented by the capitalized pronoun He.
In context — 2 Peter 2:5
And He showed no mercy to the ancient world, but He upheld Noah, the eighth herald of righteousness, when He brought the flood upon the ungodly world.
