The apostle Peter wrote: “The patience [a quality related to long - suffering] of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed, in which a few people, that is, eight souls, were carried safely through the water. ”
كتب الرسول بطرس :‏ « كان صبر الله [صفة ترتبط بطول الاناة] ينتظر في ايام نوح ،‏ اذ كان الفلك يُبنى ،‏ الذي فيه نجا قليلون ،‏ اي ثمانية انفس ،‏ عبر الماء » .‏
