2 Peter 3:1-4 ▼

1 Dear friends, this is now the second of two letters I am writing to you, in which I have been trying to stimulate your pure minds by reminding you

2 to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the commandment of our Lord and Savior spoken through your apostles.

3 First of all you must understand this: In the last days mockers will come and, following their own desires, will ridicule us

4 by saying, |What happened to the Messiah's promise to return? Ever since our ancestors died, everything continues as it did from the beginning of creation.|
