once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous,
that he might bring us to God, being put to death
in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in
which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in
prison, 20 because they formerly did not obey,
when God's patience waited in the days of Noah,
while the ark was being prepared, in which a few,
that is, eight persons, were brought safely
through water.

has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of
God, with angels, authorities, and powers having
been subjected to him.

to us all things that pertain to life and

which he has granted to us his precious and very
great promises, so that through them you may
become partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped from the corruption that is in the world
because of sinful desire.
