Exegesis
The directional eis theon {εἰς θεόν | eis the-ón} ‘toward God’ marks the response’s focus, while di’ anastaseōs Iēsou Christou {διʼ ἀναστάσεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ | di a-na-stá-se-ōs Iē-soû Khri-stoû} ‘through the resurrection of Jesus Christ’ specifies the means by which baptism saves. In English, the clause is restructured so that “Baptism” is the clear subject, and the not–but contrast highlights the inward, God-oriented element grounded in Christ’s rising.
In context — 1 Peter 3:21
Baptism —which corresponds to that—now saves you, not as the removal of filth from the flesh, but as the appeal of a good conscience toward God , through the resurrection of Jesus Christ .
