1 Peter: 18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just
for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: 19 By which also he went and preached unto
the spirits in prison; 20 Which
sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein
few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth
of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: 22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the
right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

Genesis
6 King James Version (KJV) 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the
face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took
them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the Lord said, My spirit
shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children
to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. 5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and
that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 6 And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.
7 And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and
the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of
the Lord. 9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just
man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. 10 And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 11 The earth also was corrupt
before God, and the earth was filled with violence. 12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had
corrupted his way upon the earth. 13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with
violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. 14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou
make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. 15 And this is the fashion which thou shalt make it of: The length
of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, the breadth of it fifty cubits, and the height of it thirty cubits. 16 A window shalt thou make
to the ark, and in a cubit shalt thou finish it above; and the door of the ark shalt thou set in the side thereof; with
lower, second, and third stories shalt thou make it. 17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy
all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. 18 But with thee will I establish
my covenant; and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee. 19 And of every living thing
of all flesh, two of every sort shalt thou bring into the ark, to keep them alive with thee; they shall be male and female. 20 Of fowls after their kind,
and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee,
to keep them alive. 21 And
take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and
for them. 22 Thus
did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he. Genesis 7 King
James Version (KJV) 1 And the Lord said unto Noah,
Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation. 2 Of every clean beast thou
shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female. 3 Of fowls also of the air
by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth. 4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon
the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the
earth. 5 And
Noah did according unto all that the Lord commanded him. 6 And Noah was six hundred
years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth. 7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into
the ark, because of the waters of the flood. 8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth
upon the earth, 9 There
went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth
day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the
earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's
wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; 14 They, and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after
their kind, and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind, and every fowl after his kind, every bird
of every sort. 15 And
they went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is the breath of life.
16 And they that went in, went in male
and female of all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the Lord
shut him in. 17 And
the flood was forty days upon the earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift up above the earth. 18 And the waters prevailed,
and were increased greatly upon the earth; and the ark went upon the face of the waters.
19 And the waters prevailed exceedingly
upon the earth; and all the high hills, that were under the whole heaven, were covered. 20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and
the mountains were covered. 21 And
all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth, and every man: 22 All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. 23 And every living substance
was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the
heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. 24 And the waters prevailed
upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis
8 King James Version (KJV) 1 And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and
all the cattle that was with him in the ark: and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters assuaged; 2 The fountains also of the
deep and the windows of heaven were stopped, and the rain from heaven was restrained; 3 And the waters returned from off the earth continually:
and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated. 4 And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of
the month, upon the mountains of Ararat. 5 And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first
day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen. 6 And it came to pass at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the
ark which he had made: 7 And
he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro, until the waters were dried up from off the earth. 8 Also he sent forth a dove
from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; 9 But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot,
and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand,
and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. 10 And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of
the ark; 11 And
the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters
were abated from off the earth. 12 And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto
him any more. 13 And
it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried
up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry. 14 And in the second month,
on the seven and twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried. 15 And God spake unto Noah, saying,
16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy
wife, and thy sons, and thy sons' wives with thee. 17 Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh,
both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in
the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 18 And Noah went forth, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives
with him: 19 Every
beast, every creeping thing, and every fowl, and whatsoever creepeth upon the earth, after their kinds, went forth out of
the ark. 20 And
Noah builded an altar unto the Lord; and took of every clean
beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar. 21 And the Lord smelled a sweet savour; and the Lord
said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil
from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime
and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis
9 King James Version (KJV) 1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them,
Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth,
and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are
they delivered. 3 Every
moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. 4 But flesh with the life thereof,
which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast
will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood,
by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the
earth, and multiply therein. 8 And
God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10 And with every living
creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of
the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by
the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant
which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the
cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over
the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living
creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
16 And the bow shall be in the cloud;
and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh
that is upon the earth. 17 And
God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the
earth. 18 And
the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan. 19 These are the three sons
of Noah: and of them was the whole earth overspread. 20 And Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: 21 And he drank of the wine,
and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his
two brethren without. 23 And
Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of
their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness.
24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and
knew what his younger son had done unto him. 25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. 26 And he said, Blessed be
the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 27 God shall enlarge Japheth,
and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. 28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and
fifty years. 29 And
all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
