2 Peter 3:1-6 ▼

1 This is the seconde epistle that I now wryte vnto you, dearely beloued, wherwith I stirre vp & warne your pure myndes,

2 By puttyng you in remembraunce, that ye may be myndfull of the wordes which were tolde before of the holy prophetes, and also the commaundement of vs, whiche be Apostles of the Lorde and sauiour.

3 This first vnderstande, that there shall come in the laste dayes mockers, whiche wyll walke after their owne lustes,

4 And say: Where is the promise of his commyng? For sence the fathers dyed, all thynges continue a lyke from the begynnyng of the creation.

5 For this they knowe not (and that wylfully) howe that the heauens were of olde, and the earth that was of the water, and by the water, by the worde of God:

6 By the which thinges the world that then was, perisshed, beyng then ouerrunne with water.
