RKJNT(i)
3 Knowing this first, that in the last days scoffers shall come, scoffing and walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
5 For they willingly ignore this, that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
