1 Peter 3:18-22

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁸ because Christ also suffered once for sins in our place,^[a] the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you^[b] to God. He was put to death in flesh^[c] but was made alive in spirit,^{[d] 19} in which he also went and made an announcement to the spirits in prison. ²⁰ These spirits disobeyed long ago, when God’s patience was waiting in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In this ark a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. ²¹ And corresponding to that, baptism now saves you—not the removal of dirt from the body but the guarantee^[e] of a good conscience before God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ²² He went to heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.
