1 Peter 3:20-22

King James Version

²⁰Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

²¹The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

²²Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

²⁰because^[a] they formerly did not obey, ^(A)when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, ^(B)while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, ^(C)eight persons, were brought safely through water. ²¹Baptism, which corresponds to this, ^(D)now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but ^(E)as an appeal to God for a good conscience, ^(F)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, ²²who has gone into heaven and ^(G)is at the right hand of God, ^(H)with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.
