² You must not adopt the customs of this world but by your new attitude of mind be transformed so that you can find out what God's will is—what is good, pleasing, and perfect.

³ First of all, you must understand this, that in the last days mockers will come with their mockeries, going where their passions lead ⁴ and saying, "Where is his promised coming? For ever since our forefathers fell asleep everything has remained as it was from the beginning of creation!" ⁵ For they wilfully ignore the fact that long ago there existed heavens and an earth which had been formed at God's command out of water and by water, ⁶ by which also that world was destroyed, through being flooded with water. ⁷ But by the same command the present heavens and earth are stored up for fire, and are kept for the day when godless men are to be judged and destroyed.
