Qualifying spiritual milk · dominant
In 1 Peter 2:2, the accusative singular neuter form modifies the spiritual milk for which newborn infants are told to long; the APB renders the clause, "long for the pure spiritual milk," and links that milk with growth up to salvation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Peter 2:2, the APB presents the term within "the pure spiritual milk." This rendering confirms the clause's presentation without isolating each word exactly.
