Exegesis
Two parallel accusative–infinitive constructions follow: the first links eusebeis {εὐσεβεῖς | eu-se-beîs} ‘godly ones’ with the infinitive rhýesthai {ῥύεσθαι | rhý-es-thai} ‘to rescue’, specifying the divine action of deliverance; the prepositional phrase ek peirasmou {ἐκ πειρασμοῦ | ek pei-ras-moû} indicates the source from which the godly are delivered.
In context — 2 Peter 2:9
The Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trial, and how to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment.
