1 Peter 3:18-22 (Good News Translation)
18
For Christ died a for sins once and for all, a good man on behalf of sinners, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death physically, but made alive spiritually,
19
and in his spiritual existence he went and preached to the imprisoned spirits.
20
These were the spirits of those who had not obeyed God when he waited patiently during the days that Noah was building his boat. The few people in the boat - eight in all - were saved by the water, 1
21
which was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you. It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God from a good conscience. It saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
22
who has gone to heaven and is at the right side of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.
