2 Peter 2:4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
2

And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

4

For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Timing of Judgment

The verse describes a past event ("spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell") and their current state ("reserved unto judgment"), but it does not specify when this future judgment will occur in relation to any millennial period.

Hell Terminology (Sheol/Hades/Gehenna/Lake of Fire)

The verse uses the term "hell" in a general sense of a place of punishment, but it does not explicitly use or define any of the specific terminology listed in the theme definition (Gehenna, Tartarus, Lake of Fire), nor does it explicitly distinguish it from Sheol/Hades as a general grave.

Sheol / The Grave

The verse describes the destination of "angels that sinned" as "hell" and "chains of darkness," which are distinct from the human concept of "Sheol / The Grave" as the destination or state of the dead. It speaks of a specific punishment for a specific group, not a general state of human death.
