Genesis 7 in the New Testament

Says “For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark” (Matt 24:38, 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). “Then the flood came and destroyed them all” (Luke 17:27, BSB). “In the ark a few people, only eight souls, were saved through water” (1 Pet 3:20, BSB). 1 Peter 3:21 then states that this water symbolizes the baptism that now saves you also, not the removal of dirt from the body, but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 2 Peter 2:5 speaks of Noah preserved among the eight. 2 Peter 3:6 states that the world of that time perished in the flood. “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in godly fear built an ark to save his family” (Heb 11:7, BSB). Those texts state the New Testament’s own use of Noah and the flood, not a verdict on extent or chronology.

Implies Those texts read Noah as a real person who entered the ark and was preserved.

Uncertain 1 Peter 3:21 is reported as the text frames it; no sacramental or system lean is taken. Form agreement is not a claim about which text a writer used. No application is drawn. See the Greek note.
