1 Peter 3

20 who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah  * 3:20 Gn 5:29 while the ark was being prepared. In it a few — that is, eight people  * 3:20 Or souls,* 3:20 Gn 5:32; 6:18; 7:7,13; 8:16,18  — were saved through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves you (not as the removal of dirt from the body,  * 3:21 Heb 9:14; 10:22 but the pledge  * 3:21 Or the appeal of a good conscience toward God) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,  * 3:21 1Pt 1:322 who has gone into heaven  * 3:22 Ac 1:10,12; 1Tm 3:16; Heb 4:14; 6:20 and is at the right hand of God  * 3:22 Ps 110:1; Mk 16:19; Ac 2:33–34; Rm 8:34; Heb 10:12 with angels, authorities, and powers subject to him.  * 3:22 Eph 1:20–22
