2 Peter 3:2

1 Beloved, this is now my second letter to you. Both of them are reminders to stir you to wholesome thinking

by recalling what was foretold by the holy prophets and commanded by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.

3 Most importantly, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires.

4 “Where is the promise of His coming?” they will ask. “Ever since our fathers fell asleep, everything continues as it has from the beginning of creation.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
