2 Peter 3:1-6 ▼

1 This seconde Epistle I nowe write vnto you, beloued, wherewith I stirre vp, and warne your pure mindes,

2 To call to remembrance the wordes, which were tolde before of the holy Prophetes, and also the commaundement of vs the Apostles of the Lord and Sauiour.

3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the last dayes, mockers, which wil walke after their lustes,

4 And say, Where is the promes of his coming? For since the fathers died, all things continue alike from the beginning of the creation.

5 For this they willingly know not, that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water and by the water, by the word of God.

6 Wherefore the worlde that then was, perished, ouerflowed with the water.
