Noah's salvation by water is a type

1 Peter 3:20-21 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:

NIV 1 Peter 3:21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also
NKJV 1 Peter 3:21 There is also an antitype which now saves us -- baptism
NCV 1 Peter 3:21 And that water is like baptism that now saves you
NJB 1 Peter 3:21 It is the baptism corresponding to this water which saves you now
NAB 1 Peter 3:21 This prefigured baptism, which saves you now
