In context

2 that you should remember the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets and the commandment of us, the apostles of the Lord and Savior,

3 knowing this first, that in the last days mockers will come, walking after their own lusts

4 and saying, “Where is the promise of his coming? For, from the day that the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.”

5 For 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,

6 by which means the world that existed then, being overflowed with water, perished.
