Theological / Devotional

If so be. The Greek implies that Peter assumes that his readers have experienced the goodness of the Lord’s guidance; therefore, they should keep on longing for the nourishment of the Scriptures.

Gracious. Gr. chrestos, “fit for use,” “good,” “beneficent,” from a verb meaning “to furnish what is needed.” The apostle here quotes Ps. 34:8, which describes the unselfish kindness, sympathy, and warm tenderness of the Lord toward men.
