    StromataLate Antiquity · Greek

    Figure invoked alongside Noah in the saying about ordinary life continuing until sudden judgement.

    "As it was in the days of Noah—they were marrying, being given in marriage, building, planting—and as it was in the days of Lot, so shall be the coming of the Son of Man.
    book 3
    For hospitality and piety Lot was saved from Sodom;
    book 4
    As, then, in astronomy we have for an example Abraham, so in arithmetic the same Abraham.
    book 6

    Adversus MarcionemLate Antiquity · Latin

    Patriarch visited alongside Abraham by the Creator's angels in true flesh.

    In this question, you who think that the angels of the Creator are to be set against us — as though they too acted in phantom, of seeming flesh, no doubt, with Abraham and Lot, and yet truly both met and were fed and did what had been commanded them — in the first place, you are not admitted to the examples of that God whom you are demolishing.
    book 3
    But if he speaks of his own coming, why does he compare it to the days of Noah and of Lot, foul and atrocious — a god gentle and mild?
    book 4

    LettersLate Antiquity · Greek

    De Carne ChristiLate Antiquity · Latin

    The biblical figure rescued by angels from the Sodomites, cited as evidence of angelic embodiment.

    You have read at some time, and believed, that the Creator's angels were changed into human form, and carried so great a reality of body that Abraham even washed their feet, and that Lot was rescued by their hands from the Sodomites, and that an angel even wrestled with a man so bodily, with the whole weight of his frame, that he begged to be let go, so was he held fast.
    de carne christi

    De PudicitiaLate Antiquity · Latin

    Biblical figure whose incest is cited as a test case for pardon.

    Now you will pardon incests too, on account of Lot, and fornications joined with incest, on account of Judah, and shameful marriages from prostitution, on account of Hosea, and not only frequented ones, but even several at once, on account of our fathers.
