1 I indeed, beloved, write unto you this second epistle; in which I stir up your pure mind by remembrance: 2 to remember the words which have been spoken hitherto by the holy prophets, and the commandment of the Lord and Saviour by your apostles: 3 knowing this first, that at the last days mockers will come forth in scoffing, walking according to their own lusts, 4 and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for from the day when the fathers fell asleep, all things remain as from the beginning of creation. 5 For they willingly forget this, that the heavens were in the olden time, and the earth standing out of the water and through the water, by the word of God; 6 by which the world at that time, being flooded with water, perished: 2 Peter 3:1-6, Godbey New Testament.
