2 Peter 3:5-7
American Standard Version
5 For this they wilfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth compacted out of water and [a]amidst water, by the word of God; 6 by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 but the heavens that now are, and the earth, by the same word have been [b]stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

New International Version
5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word(A) the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.(B) 6 By these waters also the world of that time(C) was deluged and destroyed.(D) 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire,(E) being kept for the day of judgment(F) and destruction of the ungodly.
