2 Peter 3:4-6
4and saying, “1Where is the promise of His 2coming? For ever since the fathers 34fell asleep, all things continue just as they were 5from the beginning of creation.”
5For 6when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that 7by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was 8formed out of water and by water,
6through which 9the world at that time was 10destroyed by being flooded with water.
