1 Peter 3:18-20
English Standard Version
18 For Christ also (A)suffered[a] (B)once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, (C)that he might bring us to God, being put to death (D)in the flesh but made alive (E)in the spirit, 19 in which[b] he went and (F)proclaimed[c] to the spirits in prison, 20 because[d] they formerly did not obey, (G)when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, (H)while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, (I)eight persons, were brought safely through water.
