2 Peter 2:5

5 and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, ^{▼▼ “Along with seven others” is implied in the cryptic, “the eighth, Noah.” A more literal translation thus would be, “he did protect Noah [as] the eighth…”} when God ^{▼▼ Grk “he”; the referent (God) has been repeated here for clarity, although this is somewhat redundant with the beginning of v. 4.} brought a flood on an ungodly world, ^{▼▼ Grk “a world of the ungodly.”}
