2 Peter 3:3-7

Revised Geneva Translation

³ First, understand this: that in the last days there shall come mockers, who will walk after their lusts

⁴ and say, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the Fathers died, all things continue just as from the beginning of the creation.”

⁵ For of this they are willingly ignorant: that the heavens were of old; and the earth - which was of the water and by the water - by the word of God;

⁶ through which water the world that then existed perished, being flooded.

⁷ But the heavens and earth which exist now are stored up by the same word, and reserved for fire until the Day of Condemnation, and of the destruction of ungodly men.
