1 Peter 3:21-22

3:21 And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you ¹  – not the washing off of physical dirt ²  but the pledge ³  of a good conscience to God – through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 3:22 who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God ⁴  with angels and authorities and powers subject to him. ⁵

¹ tn Grk “which also, [as] an antitype, now saves you, [that is] baptism.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

² tn Grk “the removal of the dirt of the flesh,” where flesh refers to the physical make-up of the body with no moral connotations.

³ tn Or “response”; “answer.”

⁴ tn Grk “who is at the right hand…having gone into heaven.”

⁵ tn Grk “angels…having been subjected to him.”
