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
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.
