这纯净的奶是在神的话里传输出来，借我们理性心思的领会，且由我们心思机能的吸收，而滋养我们里面的人─罗八6，参申十一18。
The guileless milk is conveyed in the word of God to nourish our inner man through the understanding of our rational mind and is assim-ilated by our mental faculties—Rom. 8:6; cf. Deut. 11:18.

虽然话奶是经由心思滋养魂的，最终却滋养我们的灵，使我们属灵而不属魂，适合于为神建造属灵的殿─参林前二15。
Although the nourishing milk of the word is for the soul through the mind, it eventually nourishes the spirit, making us not soulish but spiritual, suitable for being built up as a spiritual house of God—cf. 1 Cor. 2:15.

By feeding on Christ as the nourishing milk in the word, we grow unto full salvation; salvation in 1 Peter 2:2 is a matter of transfor-mation for God's building.
