2 Peter 3:3-7 (Revised Standard Version)
View In My Bible
3
First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions
4
and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation."
5
They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago, and an earth formed out of water and by means of water,
6
through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.
7
But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist have been stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
