3 Above all things you are to know, that in these last times, impostors will appear, who will abandon themselves to their own sensual passions, whose cry will be, 4 "where is the promise of his coming? for since our fathers are dead, the state of things is the same it has ever been since the beginning of the world." 5 but they are wilfully ignorant, that the heavens were originally form'd by the divine Logos, and likewise the earth, which was separated from the water, and still subsists upon it. 6 whence the former world was destroyed by an inundation. 7 but the heavens and the earth now existing are kept in store by his Logos, reserv'd for the conflagration of doomsday, when the impious shall be involv'd in perdition. 2 Peter 3:3-7, Mace New Testament.
