2 Peter 3:3-7

Coverdale(i) 3 This first vnderstonde, that in the last dayes there shal come mockers, which wyll walke after their awne lustes, 4 & saye: Where is the promes of his commynge? For sence the fathers fell on slepe, euery thinge contynueth as it was from the begynnynge of ye creature. 5 This they knowe not (and that wylfully) how that the heauens were afore tyme also, and the earth out of the water, & was in the water by the worde of God, 6 yet was the worlde at that tyme destroyed by the same with the floude. 7 But the heauens which are yet, and ye earth, are kepte in stoare by his worde, to be reserued vnto fyre agaynst the daye of iudgment and damnacion of vngodly men.
