Study Note
The parenthetical clarification that baptism saves 'not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer (eperōtēma) of a good conscience toward God, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ' guards against a magical-automatic view of baptism while retaining its genuine saving significance. The Greek 'eperōtēma' is variously translated 'pledge, answer, appeal, or inquiry,' with the sense probably being a formal covenantal pledge or vow — baptism as the outward commitment made to God from an inwardly transformed conscience. The Noah-flood typology (vv. 20-21) presents water as both the medium of judgment on the unbelieving world and the vehicle of salvation for those 'in the ark,' paralleling Paul's Exodus-baptism typology in 1 Corinthians 10:1-2. The verse remains the central text in the debate between sacramental and symbolist interpretations of baptism in Western Christianity.
