2 Peter 3:5-7 ▼

5 for this they willingly conceal, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth having been established by the word of God out of water and through water,

6 through which the world then, having been flooded by water, was destroyed;

7 and by the same word, the present heavens and earth, having been stored up for fire, are being preserved until [the] day of judgment and destruction of impious men.
