3 First of all you must understand this, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own passions
3 Above 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 ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things have continued as they were from the beginning of creation."
4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since 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,
5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6 through which the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
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.
7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
