DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clement of Rome preaches about the salvation of Lot from Sodom as a
demonstration of God's faithfulness to those who trust in Him,
contrasting it with the punishment of those who turn away from God.
Lot's wife serves as a cautionary tale, becoming a pillar of salt for
disobeying God's command and showcasing the consequences of being
double-minded and lacking faith in God's power, serving as a warning for
future generations.

On account of his hospitality and godliness, Lot was saved out of Sodom
when all the country around him was punished by means of fire and
brimstone, the Lord thus making it manifest that He does not forsake
those who hope in Him, but gives up those who depart from Him to
punishment and torture. For Lot's wife, who went forth with him, being
of a different mind from himself and not continuing in agreement with
him [as to the command which had been given them], was made an example
of, so as to be a pillar of salt to this day.

This was done that all might know that those who are of a double mind,
and who distrust the power of God, bring down judgment on themselves,
and become a sign to all succeeding generations.
