1 Peter 3:21-22
New Life Version
1 Peter 3:21-22
New Life Version
21 This is like baptism to us. Baptism does not mean we wash our bodies clean. It means we are saved from the punishment of sin and go to God in prayer with a heart that says we are right. This can be done because Christ was raised from the dead. 22 Christ has gone to heaven and is on the right side of God. Angels and powers of heaven are obeying Him.

1 Peter 3:21-22
New International Version
21 and this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you(A) also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience(B) toward God.[a] It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ,(C) 22 who has gone into heaven(D) and is at God’s right hand(E)—with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him.(F)
