But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis 6:8 (NIV)

But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark—you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
Genesis 6:18 (NIV)

Genesis 6 clearly states that the world was entirely wicked, full of violence, every thought and intent was evil… except for Noah.

But God also saves Noah’s entire family: his wife, his sons, and his sons’ wives, despite them falling into the "entirely wicked" category.
