1 Peter 3:20-22
Lexham English Bible
20 who were formerly disobedient, when the patience of God waited in the days of Noah, while[a] an ark was being constructed, in which a few—that is, eight souls—were rescued through water. 21 And[b] also, corresponding to this, baptism now saves you, not the removal of dirt from the flesh, but an appeal to God for a good conscience through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, with angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to him.
