1 Peter 3:21

Context
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,

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.”
