1 Peter 3:18-20
International Standard Version
18 For the Messiah[a] also suffered[b] for sins once for all,
an innocent person for the guilty,
so that he could bring you[c] to God.
He was put to death in a mortal body
but was brought to life by the Spirit,
19 in which he went and made a proclamation to those imprisoned spirits 20 who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah, when God waited patiently while the ark was being built. In it a few, that is, eight persons, were saved by water.
