Moved with fear; because he believed God's word that the flood would certainly come. Genesis 6:14-22.

By the which; by which faith of his, with its accompanying fruits.

He condemned the world; his example of faith condemned their unbelief.

The righteousness which is by faith; the righteousness which God gives through faith. See note to Romans 1:17. Fear is a powerful means of the salvation of men. God designs to awaken it, and it is right that it should have influence. There is great reason for it, and he who attempts to show that there is not, acts against God and against the best interests of mankind.
