Exegesis
The clause begins with the coordinated subject hoi de nyn ouranoi kai hē gē {οἱ δὲ νῦν οὐρανοὶ καὶ ἡ γῆ | hoí dè nýn ouranoí kai hē gē̂}, where the adversative particle de {δὲ | dè} contrasts the present created order with what has just been described in the preceding context.
In context — 2 Peter 3:7
But the heavens and the earth that now exist, by the same word have been stored up and are being kept for fire, reserved for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
