Which Old Testament story is used in the New Testament to exemplify the importance of living righteously among non-believers?

Explanation

The New Testament uses Lot as an example of living righteously in a wicked place. Lot lived in Sodom where everyone around him did evil things, but he tried to stay faithful.

Peter describes how the sinful behavior Lot witnessed every day tormented his righteous soul. Living among evil was painful for someone who loved God.

This encourages believers that God sees when we try to live right, even in difficult environments.
