1 Peter 3:19-22

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ Christ then preached to the spirits that were being kept in prison. ^20 (A)(B) They had disobeyed God while Noah was building the boat, but God had been patient with them. Eight people went into that boat and were brought safely through the flood.

²¹ Those flood waters were like baptism that now saves you. But baptism is more than just washing your body. It means turning to God with a clear conscience, because Jesus Christ was raised from death. ²² Christ is now in heaven, where he sits at the right side^[a] of God. All angels, authorities, and powers are under his control.
