1 Peter 3

Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

20 Ref who sometime disbelieved, when once the long-suffering of God did wait, in days of Noah -- an ark being preparing -- in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water;

21 Ref also to which an antitype doth now save us -- baptism, (not a putting away of the filth of flesh, but the question of a good conscience in regard to God,) through the rising again of Jesus Christ,

22 Ref who is at the right hand of God, having gone on to heaven -- messengers, and authorities, and powers, having been subjected to him.

World English Bible (WEB)

20 Ref who before were disobedient, when God waited patiently in the days of Noah, while the ark was being built. In it, few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

21 Ref This is a symbol of baptism, which now saves you-- not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

22 Ref who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)

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