For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,

But by the same word the heavens and earth that now exist are stored up for fire, being kept until the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.

But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.
