2 Peter 3:3-7
English Standard Version
3 knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come (A)in the last days with scoffing, (B)following their own sinful desires. 4 (C)They will say, “Where is the promise of (D)his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation.” 5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth (E)was formed out of water and through water (F)by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these the world that then existed (G)was deluged with water and (H)perished. 7 But by the same word (I)the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and (J)destruction of the ungodly.

2 Peter 3:3-7
Christian Standard Bible
3 Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days(A) scoffing and following their own evil desires, 4 saying, “Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised?(B) Ever since our ancestors fell asleep,(C) all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation.” 5 They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God(D) the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.(E) 6 Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded.(F) 7 By the same word,(G) the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, being kept for the day of judgment(H) and destruction of the ungodly.
