1 Peter 3:18-22

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered^(A) for sins once for all,^(B) the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring you to God.^(C) He was put to death in the flesh^[a](D) but made alive by the Spirit,^{[b] 19} in which^[c] he also went and made proclamation to the spirits^(E) in prison ²⁰ who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah^(F) while the ark was being prepared. In it a few—that is, eight people^[d](G)—were saved through water. ²¹ Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you (not as the removal of dirt from the body,^(H) but the pledge^[e] of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,^{(I) 22} who has gone into heaven^(J) and is at the right hand of God^(K) with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.^(L)
