2 Peter 3:1-7

This is now, dearly beloved, the second letter that I have written to you, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your sincere mind by reminding you that you should remember the words of the holy prophets and the commandments of our LORD and SAVIOR given through apostles. First of all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come following their own evil desires. They will ask, "Where is the promised second coming? From the days of our ancestors everything has continued as it has since the creation." But they deliberately forget that long ago just a word from GOD formed the earth out of water and through water, and with water the world overflowed and perished. And the present heavens and earth will be consumed by fire, with just a word, on the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.
