| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
|
3 First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
|
|
4 And saying , Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep , all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
|
4 They will say, "Where is this 'coming' he promised? Ever since our fathers died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
