UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ ἐγεύσασθε

if ˱you_all˲_tasted

Peter is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Peter is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: “since you have tasted”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰ ἐγεύσασθε

if ˱you_all˲_tasted

Peter uses tasted to refer to personally experiencing something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “if you have experienced”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ἐγεύσασθε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ Κύριος

˱you_all˲_tasted that good_‹is› the Lord

This clause is a paraphrase of Psalm 34:8. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.
