Peter weaves a powerful parable around this fact: he likens the ark in the time of Noah to Christ, showing that as the ark saved Noah and his family from the judgment that came upon sinners, so baptism into Christ will save believers from eternal death (1 Peter 3:21).
Petro anatoa mfano wa nguvu kuzunguka ukweli huu, anailinganisha na Safina wakati wa Nuhu na Kristo, ikiwa Safina iliwaokoa Nuhu na jamaa yake toka hukumu iliyowajia watenda dhambi, basi kubatizwa katika Kristo kutawaokoa waaminio toka mauti ya milele (1 Petr 3:21).
