إِذْ عَصَتْ قَدِيمًا، حِينَ كَانَتْ أَنَاةُ اللهِ تَنْتَظِرُ مَرَّةً فِي أَيَّامِ نُوحٍ، إِذْ كَانَ الْفُلْكُ يُبْنَى، الَّذِي فِيهِ خَلَصَ قَلِيلُونَ، أَيْ ثَمَانِي أَنْفُسٍ بِالْمَاءِ.

once--not in the oldest manuscripts. when . . . the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah--Oldest manuscripts. Greek, "was continuing to wait on" (if haply men in the hundred twenty years of grace would repent) until the end of His waiting came in their death by the flood. This refutes ALFORD'S idea of a second day of grace having been given in Hades. Noah's days are selected, as the ark and the destroying flood answer respectively to "baptism" and the coming destruction of unbelievers by fire. while the ark was a-preparing-- (Heb 11:7). A long period of God's "long-suffering and waiting," as Noah had few to help him, which rendered the world's unbelief the more inexcusable. wherein--literally, "(by having entered) into which." eight--seven (the sacred number) with ungodly Ham. few--so now. souls--As this term is here used of living persons, why should not "spirits" also? Noah preached to their ears, but Christ in spirit, to their spirits, or spiritual natures. saved by water--The same water which drowned the unbelieving, buoyed up the ark in which the eight were saved. Not as some translate, "were brought safe through the water." However, the sense of the preposition may be as in Co1 3:15, "they were safely preserved through the water," though having to be in the water.

He exhorts Christians to unity, love, compassion, peace, and patience under sufferings; to oppose the slanders of their enemies, not by returning evil for evil, or railing for railing, but by blessing; by a ready account of their faith and hope, and by keeping a good conscience (Pe1 3:8-17). To encourage them to this, he proposes the example of Christ, who suffered, the just for the unjust, but yet punished the old world for their disobedience, and saved the few who were faithful in the days of Noah (Pe1 3:18 to the end).

بِالإِيمَانِ نُوحٌ لَمَّا أُوحِيَ إِلَيْهِ عَنْ أُمُورٍ لَمْ تُرَ بَعْدُ خَافَ، فَبَنَى فُلْكًا لِخَلاَصِ بَيْتِهِ، فَبِهِ دَانَ الْعَالَمَ، وَصَارَ وَارِثًا لِلْبِرِّ الَّذِي حَسَبَ الإِيمَانِ.
Pوَلَمْ يُشْفِقْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِ الْقَدِيمِ، بَلْ إِنَّمَا حَفِظَ نُوحًا ثَامِنًا كَارِزًا لِلْبِرِّ، إِذْ جَلَبَ طُوفَانًا عَلَى عَالَمِ الْفُجَّارِ. P
فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «لاَ يَدِينُ رُوحِي فِي الإِنْسَانِ إِلَى الأَبَدِ، لِزَيَغَانِهِ، هُوَ بَشَرٌ. وَتَكُونُ أَيَّامُهُ مِئَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً».
وَرَأَى الرَّبُّ أَنَّ شَرَّ الإِنْسَانِ قَدْ كَثُرَ فِي الأَرْضِ، وَأَنَّ كُلَّ تَصَوُّرِ أَفْكَارِ قَلْبِهِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شِرِّيرٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ.
فَخَرَجَ نُوحٌ وَبَنُوهُ وَامْرَأَتُهُ وَنِسَاءُ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُ.
مَا أَضْيَقَ الْبَابَ وَأَكْرَبَ الطَّرِيقَ الَّذِي يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْحَيَاةِ، وَقَلِيلُونَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يَجِدُونَهُ!
فِي ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ دَخَلَ نُوحٌ، وَسَامٌ وَحَامٌ وَيَافَثُ بَنُو نُوحٍ، وَامْرَأَةُ نُوحٍ، وَثَلاَثُ نِسَاءِ بَنِيهِ مَعَهُمْ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ.
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ اللهُ نُوحًا وَكُلَّ الْوُحُوشِ وَكُلَّ الْبَهَائِمِ الَّتِي مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ. وَأَجَازَ اللهُ رِيحًا عَلَى الأَرْضِ فَهَدَأَتِ الْمِيَاهُ.
«لاَ تَخَفْ، أَيُّهَا الْقَطِيعُ الصَّغِيرُ، لأَنَّ أَبَاكُمْ قَدْ سُرَّ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمُ الْمَلَكُوتَ.
فَمَاذَا؟ إِنْ كَانَ اللهُ، وَهُوَ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ غَضَبَهُ وَيُبَيِّنَ قُوَّتَهُ، احْتَمَلَ بِأَنَاةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ آنِيَةَ غَضَبٍ مُهَيَّأَةً لِلْهَلاَكِ.
