3:21And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you40—not the washing off of physical dirt41 but the pledge42 of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,
Footnotes
- 40 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.
- 41 Grk “the removal of the dirt of the flesh,” where flesh refers to the physical make-up of the body with no moral connotations.
- 42 Or “response”; “answer.”
