| New King James Version (NKJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 5 For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, | 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God's word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water. |
