God did not spare the world’s ungodly people long ago. He brought the flood on them. But Noah preached about the right way to live. God kept him safe. He also saved seven others.

神也没有宽容上古的世代，曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世代，却保护了传义道的挪亚一家八口。

既然上帝也没有宽容上古的世界，曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世界，只保护了报公义信息的挪亚一家八口；

既然神也没有宽容上古的世界，曾叫洪水临到那不敬虔的世界，只保护了报公义信息的挪亚一家八口；

上帝也没有容忍远古的世代，曾用洪水淹灭了世上不敬虔的恶人，只留下传讲上帝公义的挪亚和他的七位家人。

神也没有姑息上古的世界，反而使洪水临到那不敬虔的世人，只保存了传义道的挪亚一家八口。

既然神也没有顾惜上古的世界，使洪水临到那不敬神的世界，只保守了义的传道者挪亚一家八口；

他既不愛惜上古的世代，反而引進了洪水來滅不虔之人的世代，只保守着正義的報信者第八個人挪亞。

既然神也沒有顧惜上古的世界，使洪水臨到那不敬神的世界，只保守了義的傳道者挪亞一家八口；

又不惜上古之世、降洪水於不虔者、惟存宣義之挪亞八人、

先古之世、其俗澆漓、為上帝所責、災以洪水、惟傳道義之挪亞、暨其眷聚八人得救、

亦未惜先古之世、以洪水罰彼不虔敬之惡世、惟救傳義道之挪亞等八人、

古時人欲橫流、天主亦不惜使洪水氾濫、僅有宣揚道義之諾厄及同伴七人得濟。

if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;

if he did not spare the ancient world, but preserved Noah, a herald of righteousness, with seven others, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly;

And God did not spare the ancient world— except for Noah and the seven others in his family. Noah warned the world of God’s righteous judgment. So God protected Noah when he destroyed the world of ungodly people with a vast flood.

The waters also flooded the world of that time. And so they destroyed the world.

Noah had faith. So he built an ark to save his family. He built it because of his great respect for God. God had warned him about things that could not yet be seen. Because of his faith Noah showed the world that it was guilty. Because of his faith he was considered right with God.

“ Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.People were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.

After that, Christ went and made an announcement to the spirits in prison.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.

Enoch was the seventh man in the family line of Adam. He gave a prophecy about these people. He said,“ Look! The Lord is coming with thousands and thousands of his holy ones.He is coming to judge everyone. He is coming to sentence all of them. He will judge them for all the ungodly acts they have done. They have done them in ungodly ways. He will sentence ungodly sinners for all the things they have said to oppose him.”

Remember how it was in the days of Noah. It will be the same when the Son of Man comes.In the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking. They were getting married. They were giving their daughters to be married. They did all those things right up to the day Noah entered the ark.They knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be when the Son of Man comes.

Will you stay on the old path that sinful people have walked on?They were carried off even before they died. Their foundations were washed away by a flood.

Then the Lord said to Noah,“ Go into the ark with your whole family. I know that you are a godly man among the people of today.Take seven pairs of every kind of‘ clean’ animal with you. Take a male and a female of each kind. Take one pair of every kind of animal that is not‘ clean.’ Take a male and a female of each kind.Also take seven pairs of every kind of bird. Take a male and a female of each kind. Then every kind will be kept alive. They can spread out again over the whole earth.Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth. It will rain for 40 days and 40 nights. I will destroy from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”Noah did everything the Lord commanded him to do.Noah was 600 years old when the flood came on the earth.He and his sons entered the ark. His wife and his sons’ wives went with them. They entered the ark to escape the waters of the flood.Male and female pairs of“ clean” animals and pairs of animals that were not“ clean” came to Noah. So did male and female pairs of birds and of all the creatures that move along the ground.All of them came to Noah and entered the ark. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah.After seven days the flood came on the earth.Noah was 600 years old. It was the 17th day of the second month of the year. On that day all of the springs at the bottom of the oceans burst open. God opened the windows of the sky.Rain fell on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.On that same day Noah entered the ark together with his sons Shem, Ham and Japheth. Noah’s wife and the wives of his three sons also entered it.They had every kind of wild animal with them. They had every kind of livestock, creature that moves along the ground, and bird that flies.Pairs of all living creatures that breathe came to Noah and entered the ark.The animals going in were male and female of every living thing. Everything happened just as God had commanded Noah. Then the Lord shut him in.For 40 days the flood kept coming on the earth. As the waters rose higher, they lifted the ark high above the earth.The waters rose higher and higher on the earth. And the ark floated on the water.The waters rose on the earth until all the high mountains under the entire sky were covered.The waters continued to rise until they covered the mountains by more than 20 feet.Every living thing that moved on land died. The birds, the livestock and the wild animals died. All of the creatures that fill the earth also died. And so did every human being.Every breathing thing on dry land died.Every living thing on earth was wiped out. People and animals were destroyed. The creatures that move along the ground and the birds in the sky were wiped out. Everything on earth was destroyed. Only Noah and those with him in the ark were left.The waters flooded the earth for 150 days.

There began to be many human beings on the earth. And daughters were born to them.The sons of God saw that the daughters of human beings were beautiful. So they married any of them they chose.Then the Lord said,“ My Spirit will not struggle with human beings forever. They will have only 120 years to live.”The Nephilim were on the earth in those days. That was when the sons of God went to the daughters of human beings. Children were born to them. The Nephilim were famous heroes who lived long ago. Nephilim were also on the earth later on.The Lord saw how bad the sins of everyone on earth had become. They only thought about evil things.The Lord was very sad that he had made human beings on the earth. His heart was filled with pain.So the Lord said,“ I created human beings, but I will wipe them out. I will also destroy the animals, the birds in the sky, and the creatures that move along the ground. I am very sad that I have made human beings.”But the Lord was very pleased with Noah.
