1 Peter 3:18-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Because Christ Himself Suffered To Bring Us To God, And Is Now Glorified By God
18 Because Christ also suffered once-for-all for sins— a righteous One for unrighteous ones— in order that He might bring you to God, having been put-to-death in the flesh but made-alive[a] by the Spirit[b],
19 ... by Whom[c] also[d] having gone, He proclaimed[e] to the spirits[f] in prison— 20 ones having disobeyed formerly when the patience of God was waiting in the days of Noah while an ark was being prepared,
... in which a few (that is, eight souls) were brought-safely through the water,
21 ... which[g] also as to you a corresponding-thing[h] now saves— baptism (not a putting-off [i] of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal[j] to God for[k] a good conscience) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22 ... Who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him.
