Clement of Alexandria, on 1Pet 3:20

“Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water.”

“"When the long-suffering of God" holds out. God is so good, as to work the result by the teaching of salvation.”
