to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. In it only a few people, eight in all, were saved through water,

Long ago these spirits did not obey. That was when God was patient while Noah was building the ark. And only a few people went into the ark. In fact, there were only eight. Those eight people were saved through water.

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.

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.

who in the past were disobedient, when God patiently waited in the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared. In it a few— that is, eight people— were saved through water.

Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

So the LORD said,“ My spirit will not remain in humankind indefinitely, since they are mortal. They will remain for 120 more years.”

By faith Noah, when he was warned about things not yet seen, with reverent regard constructed an ark for the deliverance of his family. Through faith he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

But the LORD saw that the wickedness of humankind had become great on the earth. Every inclination of the thoughts of their minds was only evil all the time.

and if he did not spare the ancient world, but did protect Noah, a herald of righteousness, along with seven others, when God brought a flood on an ungodly world,

Noah went out along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives.

The flood engulfed the earth for forty days. As the waters increased, they lifted the ark and raised it above the earth.The waters completely overwhelmed the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the waters.The waters completely inundated the earth so that even all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters rose more than twenty feet above the mountains.And all living things that moved on the earth died, including the birds, domestic animals, wild animals, all the creatures that swarm over the earth, and all humankind.Everything on dry land that had the breath of life in its nostrils died.So the LORD destroyed every living thing that was on the surface of the ground, including people, animals, creatures that creep along the ground, and birds of the sky. They were wiped off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark survived.

Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?But because of your stubbornness and your unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath for yourselves in the day of wrath, when God’s righteous judgment is revealed!

“ Exert every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to.Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, then you will stand outside and start to knock on the door and beg him,‘ Lord, let us in!’ But he will answer you,‘ I don’t know where you come from.’

to sanctify her by cleansing her with the washing of the water by the word,

So God said to Noah,“ I have decided that all living creatures must die, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. Now I am about to destroy them and the earth.Make for yourself an ark of cypress wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it with pitch inside and out.This is how you should make it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide, and 45 feet high.Make a roof for the ark and finish it, leaving 18 inches from the top. Put a door in the side of the ark, and make lower, middle, and upper decks.I am about to bring floodwaters on the earth to destroy from under the sky all the living creatures that have the breath of life in them. Everything that is on the earth will die,but I will confirm my covenant with you. You will enter the ark– you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.You must bring into the ark two of every kind of living creature from all flesh, male and female, to keep them alive with you.Of the birds after their kinds, and of the cattle after their kinds, and of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you so you can keep them alive.And you must take for yourself every kind of food that is eaten, and gather it together. It will be food for you and for them.And Noah did all that God commanded him– he did indeed.The LORD said to Noah,“ Come into the ark, you and all your household, for I consider you godly among this generation.You must take with you seven of every kind of clean animal, the male and its mate, two of every kind of unclean animal, the male and its mate,and also seven of every kind of bird in the sky, male and female, to preserve their offspring on the face of the earth.For in seven days I will cause it to rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the ground every living thing that I have made.”And Noah did all that the LORD commanded him.Noah was 600 years old when the floodwaters engulfed the earth.Noah entered the ark along with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives because of the floodwaters.

But the gate is narrow and the way is difficult that leads to life, and there are few who find it.

But what if God, willing to demonstrate his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience the objects of wrath prepared for destruction?

On that very day Noah entered the ark, accompanied by his sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth, along with his wife and his sons’ three wives.

For this reason the LORD is ready to show you mercy; he sits on his throne, ready to have compassion on you. Indeed, the LORD is a just God; all who wait for him in faith will be blessed.

Just as it was in the days of Noah, so too it will be in the days of the Son of Man.People were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage– right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot, people were eating, drinking, buying, selling, planting, building;but on the day Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained down from heaven and destroyed them all.It will be the same on the day the Son of Man is revealed.

For just like the days of Noah were, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.For in those days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark.And they knew nothing until the flood came and took them all away. It will be the same at the coming of the Son of Man.

And regard the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as also our dear brother Paul wrote to you, according to the wisdom given to him,

But God remembered Noah and all the wild animals and domestic animals that were with him in the ark. God caused a wind to blow over the earth and the waters receded.

“ Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.

For we are a sweet aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing–to the latter an odor from death to death, but to the former a fragrance from life to life. And who is adequate for these things?
