2 Peter 3:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ The first thing that you should understand is this. In the last days of this world, some people will laugh at you because you believe in God.^[a] These people will do whatever bad things they want to do. ⁴ They will say: ‘Christ promised that he would return to this world. But he has not returned! Our ancestors have already died, but since God made the world in the beginning, nothing has changed.’

⁵ These people choose to forget things that they really know. A long time ago, God spoke his word and he made the sky and the earth. He caused land to come up through water. He made the land to be separate from the water.^[b]
