3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days mockers who scoff, following after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since our fathers passed away, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 Of this they are willingly ignorant: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water, and in the water; 6 And those men, because of whose deeds the world of that time was overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the present heavens and earth are sustained by his word, and are reserved for fire on the day of judgment which is the day of destruction of ungodly men. 2 Peter 3:3-7, Lamsa Bible.
