← 2 Peter 3:3	2 Peter 3:4 (KJV)	2 Peter 3:5 →
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,	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 the creation.	For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
