Being warned of God (chrēmatistheis). First aorist passive participle of chrēmatizō, old word for oracular or divine communications as already in Heb 8:5 (cf. Mat 2:12, Mat 2:22, etc.).

Moved with godly fear (eulabēthē). First aorist passive indicative of eulabeomai, old verb from eulabēs (from eu and labein, to take hold well or carefully), to show oneself eulabēs, to act circumspectly or with reverence, here only in N.T. (save Textus Receptus in Act 23:10), often in lxx.

An ark (kibōton). Gen 6:15; Mat 24:38. Shaped like a box (cf. Heb 9:4).

Through which (di' hēs). Through his faith as shown in building the ark.

The world (ton kosmon). Sinful humanity as in Heb 11:38.

Heir (klēronomos). In 2Pe 2:5 Noah is called “a preacher of righteousness” as here “heir of righteousness.” He himself believed his message about the flood. Like Enoch he walked with God (Gen 6:9).
