Jude 1:7 - Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
Hebrews 4:11 - Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.
Let us not follow their example of disobedience, which lead to their fall, but rather be faithful and obey God... maybe these should clarify what was stated...
