NASB
"Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,"
— 2 Peter 3:3, NASB
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,”
“knowing this first, that in the last days mockers shall come with mockery, walking after their own lusts, ”
“knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts,”
“Above all, understand this: In the last days blatant scoffers will come, being propelled by their own evil urges”
“Knowing this first: That in the last days there shall come deceitful scoffers, walking after their own lusts,”
“Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things,”
“Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,”
This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder,
that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,
and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation."
For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,
through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.
