2 Peter 3:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁵ They deliberately ignore this fact, that by the word of God heavens existed long ago and an earth was formed out of water and by means of water, ⁶ through which the world of that time was deluged with water and perished. ⁷ But by the same word the present heavens and earth have been reserved for fire, being kept until the day of judgement and destruction of the godless.
