1 Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you? in which I am stirring up your? pure mind in a reminder 2 to remember the words having been spoken beforehand by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of the Lord and Savior by your? apostles, 3 first knowing this, that in the last days scoffers will come with scoffing, going according to their own passions 4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For from which time the fathers fell asleep, all things continue in this way from the beginning of creation.” 5 For this is hidden from them willingly, that the heavens were long ago, and the earth, out of water and through water having been composed by the word of God, 6 through which the world at that time was destroyed, having been deluged with water. 7 But by the same word the present heavens and the earth are having been stored up for fire, being kept unto the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3:1-7, Berean Literal Bible.
