Exegesis
This clause takes hymas {ὑμᾶς | hy-mâs} ‘you’ as its object, setting up baptisma {βάπτισμα | báptis-ma} as the subject of the main verb sōzei {σῴζει | sṓ-zei} ‘saves’. Placing baptism after the verb emphasizes its saving power.
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 .
