17 For it is better, if the will of God is so, that ye suffer for well-doing, than for evil-doing.
18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the Spirit:
19 By which also he went and preached to the spirits in prison;
20 Who formerly were disobedient, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was preparing, in which few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.
21 The like figure to which, even baptism, doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience towards God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels, and authorities, and powers being made subject to him.
