2 Peter 3:3-7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 First, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days(A) to scoff, living according to their own desires, 4 saying, “Where is the promise of His coming?(B) Ever since the fathers fell asleep,(C) all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” 5 They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water(D) by the word of God.(E) 6 Through these waters the world of that time perished when it was flooded.(F) 7 But by the same word,(G) the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment(H) and destruction of ungodly men.

2 Peter 3:3-7
New International Version
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days(A) scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.(B) 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised?(C) Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.”(D) 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(E) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(F) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(G) was deluged and destroyed.(H) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(I) being kept for the day of judgment(J) and destruction of the ungodly.
