Study Note

The exhortation to 'like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation' deploys the nursing infant as an image of appropriate spiritual appetite and developmental orientation. The Greek 'logikon' modifying 'milk' ('logikon gala') is often translated 'spiritual' but may carry the nuance of 'of the word' (logos), suggesting the nourishment of the spoken and written gospel. The command to 'long for' (epipothesate) is an aorist imperative signaling urgent, wholehearted desire, not casual preference. The teleological phrase 'that by it you may grow up into salvation' presents spiritual nourishment as the means of an ongoing, progressive salvation that is not yet fully consummated in the present experience of believers.
