Not just the just?

British Library, Cotton MS Tiberius C VI (c. 1050), f.14
"in which [Spirit] he went and preached [(ἐκήρυξεν)] to the spirits in prison [(τοῖς ἐν φυλακῇ πνεύμασιν)], who formerly did not obey, when God’s patience waited in the days of Noah, during the building of the ark....

"this is why the gospel was preached [(
εὐηγγελίσθη)] even to the dead [(νεκροῖς)], that though judged in the flesh like men, they might live in the spirit like God."

     1 Pet 3:19-20, 4:6, RSV.
