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). (Gerald Bray, ed., James, 1-2 Peter, 1-3 John, Jude [Ancient Christian Commentary on
Scripture; Downers Grove, Ill.: InterVarsity Press, 2000], 110 [Andreas was a
seventh-century monk who collected commentary from earlier writers to form a
catena on various biblical books])
