8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.

9 This is the history of Noah.

Noah was a righteous man.+ He proved himself faultless* among his contemporaries.* Noah walked with the true God.+

7 By faith Noah,+ after receiving divine warning of things not yet seen,+ showed godly fear and constructed an ark+ for the saving of his household; and through this faith he condemned the world,+ and he became an heir of the righteousness that results from faith.
