Exegesis
The genitive agent phrase hypo tēs tōn athesmōn {ὑπὸ τῆς τῶν ἀθέσμων | hy-pó tês tôn a-thés-mōn} identifies the oppressors as “the lawless,” further specified by the genitive anastrophēs {ἀναστροφῆς | a-na-stro-phês} to indicate their mode of life, while en aselgeia {ἐν ἀσελγείᾳ | en a-sel-geí-a} situates that conduct “in sensuality.” This structure contrasts God’s decisive past action (aorist) with Lot’s enduring distress (present participle), underscoring divine sovereignty over ongoing human suffering.
