Andreas the Monk on 1 Peter 3:21 and being "Saved Through Baptism"

 

Saved Through Baptism. Andreas: The water of the flood is a type of baptism because it both punished evil people and saved the good, just as baptism expels evil spirits and saves those who turn to Christ. This shows the great power of baptism, and how much we need it. Catena (J. A. Cramer, ed. Catena in Epistolas Catholicas. Oxford: Clarendon, 1840, 70).
