Hebrews 11:7 GW Faith led Noah to listen when God warned him about the things in the future that he could not see. He obeyed God and built a ship to save his family. Through faith Noah condemned the world and received God's approval that comes through faith. [see Gen 6:13-22]
1 Peter 3:20-22 GW They are like those who disobeyed long ago in the days of Noah when God waited patiently while Noah built the ship. In this ship a few people-eight in all-were saved by water. (21) Baptism, which is like that water, now saves you. Baptism doesn't save by removing dirt from the body. Rather, baptism is a request to God for a clear conscience. It saves you through [your faith in] Jesus Christ, who came back from death to life. (22) Christ has gone to heaven where he has the highest position that God gives. Angels, rulers, and powers have been placed under his authority.
Hebrews 11:7 NWT
7 By faith Noah, after being given divine warning of things not yet beheld, 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 is according to faith.
1 Peter 3:20-22 NWT
20 who had once been disobedient when the patience 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. 21 That which corresponds to this is also now saving you, namely, baptism, (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the request made to God for a good conscience,) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 22 He is at God's right hand, for he went his way to heaven; and angels and authorities and powers were made subject to him.
Hebrews 11:7 GNB It was faith that made Noah hear God's warnings about things in the future that he could not see. He obeyed God and built a boat in which he and his family were saved. As a result, the world was condemned, and Noah received from God the righteousness that comes by faith. [see Gen 6:13-22]
1 Peter 3:20-22 GNB These were the spirits of those who had not obeyed God when he waited patiently during the days that Noah was building his boat. The few people in the boat---eight in all---were saved by the water, (21) which was a symbol pointing to baptism, which now saves you. It is not the washing off of bodily dirt, but the promise made to God from a good conscience. It saves you through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, (22) who has gone to heaven and is at the right side of God, ruling over all angels and heavenly authorities and powers.
Hebrews 11:7 ALT
(7) By faith Noah, having been divinely warned concerning the [things] not yet being seen, having been moved with reverent fear, prepared an ark for [the] salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world and became a heir of the righteousness according to faith. [see Gen 6:13-22]
1 Peter 3:20-22 ALT
(20) having formerly refused to believe, when the patience of God kept eagerly waiting in [the] days of Noah, while an ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water;
(21) which [as] an antitype baptism [or, immersion] now also saves us (not [the] removal of [the] filth of flesh, _but_ an appeal to God for a good conscience) through [the] resurrection of Jesus Christ,
(22) who is at [the] right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers having been subjected to Him.
Hebrews 11:7 CEV
(7) Because Noah had faith, he was warned about something that had not yet happened. He obeyed and built a boat that saved him and his family. In this way the people of the world were judged, and Noah was given the blessings that come to everyone who pleases God.
1 Peter 3:20-22 LITV
(20) to disobeying ones, when once the long-suffering of God waited in the days of Noah, an ark having been prepared, into which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water.
(21) Which antitype now also saves us, baptism (not a putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
(22) who going into Heaven is at the right of God, the angels, and authorities, and powers being subjected to Him).

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
