Genesis 6 in the New Testament

Says “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family” (Heb 11:7, BSB). 1 Peter 3:20 speaks of the days of Noah, while the ark was being built, and of eight souls saved through water. 2 Peter 2:5 speaks of Noah as a preacher of righteousness, preserved when the flood came on the ungodly. “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be at the coming of the Son of Man” (Matt 24:37, BSB); “And they were oblivious until the flood came and swept them all away. So will it be at the coming of the Son of Man” (Matt 24:39, BSB). Luke 17:26–27 speaks in the same way. Those texts state the New Testament's own use of Noah and the flood; they are not a verdict on extent.

Says 1 Peter 3:19–20, 2 Peter 2:4, Jude 6 and Matthew 22:30 are stated as each side of the 6:1–4 question cites them. Jude 6 speaks of angels who did not stay within their own domain but abandoned their proper dwelling. “In the resurrection, people will neither marry nor be given in marriage. Instead, they will be like the angels in heaven” (Matt 22:30, BSB). Each text is quoted or described for what it says.

Uncertain Whether those four texts refer to 6:1–4 is not settled, and no lean is taken. Form agreement is not a claim about which text was used. No application is drawn.
