1 Pedro 2:2
Wuest: as newborn infants do, intensely yearn for the unadulterated spiritual milk in order that by it you may be nourished and make progress in [your] salvation Young's Literal: as newborn babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow LIKE NEWBORN BABES: os artigenneta brephe: 1Pe 1:23; Mt 18:3; Mk 10:15; Ro 6:4; 1Cor 3:1; 14:20 1 Peter 2 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries 1 Peter 2:1-3 Getting Into The Word - Steven Cole 1 Peter 2:1-3 Hungering for God's Word - John MacArthur 1 Peter 2:1-3 Desiring the Word - John MacArthur 1 Peter 2:1-3 Cultivating a Hunger for God's Word - John MacArthur 1. The New Spiritual Birth (1Pe 1:22-25) 2. Continued Spiritual Growth (1Pe 2:1-3) 3. Privileges of believers as the holy and royal priesthood (1Pe 2:4-10) SOUND DOCTRINE! HEALTHY SAINTS! Like (hōs) - This section is a simile which is a term of comparison introduced either by like or as. Whenever you encounter a simile, consider invoking the "5 P's" (Pause to Ponder the Passage and Practice it in Power of Spirit). Peter draws a poignant comparison between the instinctive (God given) appetite of a healthy baby for its mother's milk and the appetite a newborn (and older) "healthy" believer for the Word of God. Hiebert - Like (hōs), an adverb of manner, indicates that the designation is figurative. It characterizes Christians as newborn infants with an inborn longing for their mothers milk. The term is not derogative, but rather "sets forth the tenderness of their relation to God, and implies the idea of guiltlessness." (1 Peter Commentary - recommended) Beloved, even as a baby must partake regularly of pure milk (see illustration) in order to grow and be physically healthy, so too must the newborn believer (and "old born again", like yours truly!) daily partake of sound doctrine (cf Mt 4:4 quoting Dt 8:3, context Dt 8:1-2, Dt 32:47 word = "life"; Job 23:12-note), that they might grow in grace and Christlikeness (2Pe 3:18-note). It is an immutable maxim that sound doctrine (cf 1Ti 4:6, 2Ti 4:3-note, Titus 1:9-note) is the crucial cog supernaturally "energizing" godly living. Even as sinners are regenerated by the Word of Truth (Jas 1:18-note), so too must they thereafter be "revived" by that same Word of life (Php 2:16-note, cf Jn 17:17, Ps 119:25-note).

1 Pedro 2:3
Wuest: in view of the fact that you tasted that the Lord is kind, loving, and benevolent Young's Literal: if so be ye did taste that the Lord is gracious, IF YOU HAVE TASTED THE KINDNESS OF GOD: ei egeusasthe (2PAMI) hoti chrestos o kurios: Ps 9:10; 24:8; 63:5; Song 2:3; Zech 9:17; Heb 6:5,6 1 Peter 2 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries 1 Peter 2:1-3 Getting Into The Word - Steven Cole 1 Peter 2:1-3 Hungering for God's Word - John MacArthur 1 Peter 2:1-3 Desiring the Word - John MacArthur 1 Peter 2:1-3 Cultivating a Hunger for God's Word - John MacArthur AN INCENTIVE FOR LAYING ASIDE ALL HINDRANCES & ACTIVELY APPROPRIATING PROPER NOURISHMENT If you have tasted - "Since you have tasted", Wuest = "in view of the fact that you tasted" NET = "If you have experienced."; NLT = "Now that you have tasted." CSB = "Since you have tasted." Peter's point is that in view of the fact that his readers had tasted the kindness of the Lord in causing them to be born again, they should now be motivated to rid themselves of the hindrances that ruin our spiritual appetite, so that they might long for proper nourishment found only in the Word and only in which one can attain genuine spiritual growth and maturity. If (ei) is a First Class Conditional clause (see note below) which signifies that the statement that follows is assumed true. It indicates a fulfilled condition and could be translated "Since you have tasted… " They as newborn babes had tasted the Word of God, and had found in it that the Lord was gracious. As
