NASB | 1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 John 2:27 As for you, the anointing [the special gift, the preparation] which you received from Him remains [permanently] in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you. But just as His anointing teaches you [giving you insight through the presence of the Holy Spirit] about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as His anointing has taught you, you must remain in Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him]. |
Bible Question (short): The anointing of the Lord. |
Question (full): What is to be understood from this text, in particular "and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things"? How do you compare this verse with Matt 28:20 and 2Timothy 2:2? Secondly, does "the anointing" has some special blessing? I hear the term used quite often in certain christian circles, and my view is that at the moment of accepting Christ in our hearts we are established, anointed(blessed in, and by the Holy Spirit) and sealed according to 2 Cor. 1:21-22 |
