as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

Asª newbornª babes,ª desireª° the¹ sincereª milkª of the word,ª thatª ye may growª° thereby:ªª

Asª new borneª babesª desireª° the¹ sincereª milkeª of the word,ª thatª ye may growª° thereby,ªª

and be as (new)-born babes, and be desirous of the word as of milk pure and spiritual, that by it you may increase unto life.

And be like infant children; and crave the word, as being the pure spiritual milk by which ye are nourished up to life;

ὡς ἀρτιγέννητα βρέφη τὸ λογικὸν ἄδολον γάλα ἐπιποθήσατε, ἵνα ἐν αὐτῷ αὐξηθῆτε εἰς σωτηρίαν,
