1 Peter 3:20 in Context — 1 Peter 3
18 Christ aussi a souffert une fois pour les péchés, lui juste pour des injustes, afin de nous amener à Dieu, ayant été mis à mort quant à la chair, mais ayant été rendu vivant quant à l’Esprit,
19 dans lequel aussi il est allé prêcher aux esprits en prison,
20 qui autrefois avaient été incrédules, lorsque la patience de Dieu se prolongeait, aux jours de Noé, pendant la construction de l’arche, dans laquelle un petit nombre de personnes, c’est-à-dire, huit, furent sauvées à travers l’eau.
21 Cette eau était une figure du baptême, qui n’est pas la purification des souillures du corps, mais l’engagement d’une bonne conscience envers Dieu, et qui maintenant vous sauve, vous aussi, par la résurrection de Jésus-Christ,
22 qui est à la droite de Dieu, depuis qu’il est allé au ciel, et que les anges, les autorités et les puissances, lui ont été soumis.
