2 Peter 2:4, 9; 3:7, 9
4 For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast them down to hell and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved for judgment; ... 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, ... 3:7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.

God will judge everyone in His time, and will keep those who are His through it all. He does not want to see anyone punished forever, but is holy, just, and must act accordingly to do what is fair. We all deserve hell, but everyone turning from disobedient sin to Christ is what He really yearns for!
