²⁰ that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water:

²¹ which also after a true likeness doth now save you, `even' baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;

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

³⁷ And as `were' the days of Noah, so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

³⁸ For as in those days which were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark,

³⁹ and they knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall be the coming of the Son of man.

⁴⁰ Then shall two man be in the field; one is taken, and one is left:

⁴¹ two women `shall be' grinding at the mill; one is taken, and one is left.

⁴² Watch therefore: for ye know not on what day your Lord cometh.

⁷ By faith Noah, being warned `of God' concerning things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.
