1 Peter 3:20-21

20 because ^{▼▼Or when} they formerly did not obey, ^bwhen God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, ^cwhile the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, ^deight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, ^enow saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but ^fas an appeal to God for a good conscience, ^gthrough the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
