Noah and the Flood

⁹ These are the generations of Noah. ^(A)Noah was a righteous man, ^(B)blameless in his generation. Noah ^(C)walked with God.

⁶ And they were both ^(A)righteous before God, walking ^(B)blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord.

⁵ if he did not spare the ancient world, but ^(A)preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought ^(B)a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

²⁴ Enoch ^(A)walked with God, and he was not,^{[a] (B)}for God took him.

⁷ By faith ^(A)Noah, being warned by God concerning ^(B)events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of ^(C)the righteousness that comes by faith.

7 Then the Lord said to Noah, ^(A)“Go into the ark, you and all your household, for I have seen that ^(B)you are righteous before me in this generation.

²² Enoch ^(A)walked with God^[a] after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters.

¹¹ Now it is evident that ^(A)no one is justified before God by the law, for ^(B)“The righteous shall live by faith.”^[a]

²⁰ even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, declares the Lord God, they would deliver neither son nor daughter. They would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness.

^14 (A)even if these three men, ^(B)Noah, ^(C)Daniel, and ^(D)Job, were in it, ^(E)they would deliver but their own lives by their righteousness, declares the Lord God.
