1 بطرس 15:3-6:4
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.

فَإِنَّ الْمَسِيحَ أيْضاً تَألَّمَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً مِنْ أجْلِ الْخَطَايَا، الْبَارُّ مِنْ أجْلِ الأثَمَةِ، لِكَيْ يُقَرِّبَنَا إِلَى اللهِ، مُمَاتاً فِي الْجَسَدِ وَلَكِنْ مُحْيىً فِي الرُّوحِ، الَّذِي فِيهِ أيْضاً ذَهَبَ فَكَرَزَ لِلأرْوَاحِ الَّتِي فِي السِّجْنِ، إِذْ عَصَتْ قَدِيماً، حِينَ كَانَتْ أنَاةُ اللهِ تَنْتَظِرُ مَرَّةً فِي أيَّامِ نُوحٍ، إِذْ كَانَ الْفُلْكُ يُبْنَى، الَّذِي فِيهِ خَلَصَ قَلِيلُونَ، أيْ ثَمَانِي أنْفُسٍ بِالْمَاءِ.
There is also an antitype which now saves us—baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), through the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles—when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. In regard to these, they think it strange that you do not run with them in the same flood of dissipation, speaking evil of you.

They will give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was preached also to those who are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
