3:18 1 Because Christ also suffered 2 once for sins,
the just for the unjust, 3

by being put to death in the flesh

3:19 In it 6 he went and preached to the spirits in prison, 7
3:20 after they were disobedient long ago 8 when God patiently waited 9 in the days of Noah as an ark was being constructed. In the ark 10 a few, that is eight souls, were delivered through water.
