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.
8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and aa thousand years as one day.
9 aThe Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but bis longsuffering toward us, cnot willing that any should perish but dthat all should come to repentance.
