1 Pedro 2

1 Pedro 2:2

Robertson writes that logikos is… used here with allusion to logos (1Pe 1:23-note) and rhema (1Pe 1:25-note), “the sincere milk of the word” (“the milk belonging to the word,” either the milk which is the word or the milk contained in the word (Word Pictures in the New Testament) In the only other NT use of logikos the NAS translates it as spiritual… I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual (logikos) service of worship. (Ro 12:1-note) (Comment: If one takes the nuance of logikos as "thoughtful", then the idea is that of "thoughtful service of worship", which is not a bad interpretation given the tendency of many churches to accentuate the experiential at the expense of the thoughtful! In this regard it is interesting to note one of the Greek sentences that uses logikos "the singing of hymns is the sacred service of a human being, as a logikos [one endowed with reason]") Steven
