God’s Promise Is Not Slack
1 Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in both of which aI stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),
2 that you may be mindful of the words awhich were spoken before by the holy prophets, band of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
3 knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, awalking according to their own lusts,
4 and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of acreation.”
5 For this they willfully forget: that aby the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth bstanding out of water and in the water,
6 aby which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water.
7 But athe heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for bfire until the day of judgment and1 perdition of ungodly men.
