The NT explicitly calls Lot "righteous."
The OT implicitly calls Lot "righteous," because God saved him from Sodom's destruction.
Lot is compared to Noah twice:
2 Peter 2.5-8
Luke 17.26-29
Noah and Lot apparently preached against the perverse generation of their day, calling them to repentance, judging them for their crimes.
Compare this to Genesis 19.9--was Lot acting as a judge of some kind in the city?
(Also, in vs. 1, notice that Lot was sitting in the gate for some reason)
