King James Version with Apocrypha
"Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:"
— 2 Peter 3:6, King James Version with Apocrypha
“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:”
“by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: ”
“by which means the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.”
“Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water.”
“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished.”
“And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters.”
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
For 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:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
