5for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,
5for this is unobserved by them willingly, that the heavens were of old, and the earth out of water and through water standing together by the word of God,
2 to be mindful of the sayings said before by the holy prophets, and of the command of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour,
3 this first knowing, that there shall come in the latter end of the days scoffers, according to their own desires going on,
4 and saying, 'Where is the promise of his presence? for since the fathers did fall asleep, all things so remain from the beginning of the creation;'

3:5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
3:5For this they willfully forget, that there were heavens from of old, and an earth formed out of water and amid water, by the word of God;
3:5For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
