And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

Eighth - i:e., Noah and seven others. Contrasted with the densely people "world of the ungodly." Preacher - not only "righteous" himself (cf. 2 Peter 2:8), but also "a preacher of righteousness:" adduced against the licentiousness of the false teachers (2 Peter 2:2), who have no prospect but destruction, even as it overtook the ungodly in Noah's days.
