1 Peter 3:20-22
English Standard Version
20 because[a] they formerly did not obey, (A)when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, (B)while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, (C)eight persons, were brought safely through water. 21 Baptism, which corresponds to this, (D)now saves you, not as a removal of dirt from the body but (E)as an appeal to God for a good conscience, (F)through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who has gone into heaven and (G)is at the right hand of God, (H)with angels, authorities, and powers having been subjected to him.

New International Version
20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently(A) in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.(B) In it only a few people, eight in all,(C) were saved(D) through water, 21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you(E) also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience(F) toward God.[a] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,(G) 22 who has gone into heaven(H) and is at God’s right hand(I)—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.(J)
