1 Petrus 2:5

2:5 you yourselves, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood and to offer ¹  spiritual sacrifices that are acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

1 Petrus 3:21

3:21 And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you ²  – not the washing off of physical dirt ³  but the pledge ⁴  of a good conscience to God – through the resurrection of Jesus Christ,

[2:5]  ¹ tn Grk “unto a holy priesthood to offer.”

[3:21]  ² 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.

[3:21]  ³ 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.

[3:21]  ⁴ tn Or “response”; “answer.”
