1 Peter 3:20-21

New Living Translation

²⁰ those who disobeyed God long ago when God waited patiently while Noah was building his boat. Only eight people were saved from drowning in that terrible flood.^{[a] 21} And that water is a picture of baptism, which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body, but as a response to God from^[b] a clean conscience. It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
