2 Peter 3:1-6
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
Beloved, this is now the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of a reminder,
2
to remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior
spoken
by your apostles.
3
Know this first
of all,
that in the last days mockers will come with
their
mocking, following after their own lusts,
4
and saying, 'Where is the promise of His coming? For
ever
since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue just as
they were
from the beginning of creation.'
5
For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God
the
heavens existed long ago and
the
earth was formed out of water and by water,
6
through which the world at that time was destroyed by being flooded with water.
King James Version
Chapter 3
1
This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2
That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:
3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after 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 the creation.
5
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:
6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
1
Dear friends, this is now the second letter I have written to you; in both letters, I want to stir up your sincere understanding by way of reminder,
2
so that you recall the words previously spoken by the holy prophets and the command of our Lord and Savior given through your apostles.
3
Above all, be aware of this: Scoffers will come in the last days scoffing and following their own evil desires,
4
saying, "Where is his ‘coming’ that he promised? Ever since our ancestors fell asleep, all things continue as they have been since the beginning of creation."
5
They deliberately overlook this: By the word of God the heavens came into being long ago and the earth was brought about from water and through water.
6
Through these the world of that time perished when it was flooded.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
1
This is my second letter to you, dear friends, and in both of them I have tried to stimulate your wholesome thinking and refresh your memory.
2
I want you to remember what the holy prophets said long ago and what our Lord and Savior commanded through your apostles.
3
Most importantly, I want to remind you that in the last days scoffers will come, mocking the truth and following their own desires.
4
They will say, 'What happened to the promise that Jesus is coming again? From before the times of our ancestors, everything has remained the same since the world was first created.'
5
They deliberately forget that God made the heavens long ago by the word of his command, and he brought the earth out from the water and surrounded it with water.
6
Then he used the water to destroy the ancient world with a mighty flood.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
1
This is now the second letter that I am writing to you, beloved. In both of them I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
2
that you should remember the predictions of the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior through your apostles,
3
knowing this first of all, that scoffers will come in the last days with scoffing, following their own sinful desires.
4
They will say, "Where is the promise of his coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation."
5
For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago, and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God,
6
and that by means of these the world that then existed was deluged with water and perished.
New International Version
Chapter 3
1
Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking.
2
I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3
Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.
4
They will say, "Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation."
5
But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.
6
By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
1
Beloved, I now write to you this second epistle (in
both of
which I stir up your pure minds by way of reminder),
2
that you may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,
3
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking 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 creation.”
5
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water,
6
by which the world
that
then existed perished, being flooded with water.
