And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you The "anointing" refers to the Holy Spirit, which believers receive upon accepting Christ. This concept is rooted in Old Testament practices where prophets, priests, and kings were anointed with oil as a sign of being set apart for God's service (1 Samuel 16:13). In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment of this anointing, signifying God's presence and empowerment within believers (Acts 2:38). The phrase "remains in you" emphasizes the permanence of the Holy Spirit's indwelling, aligning with Jesus' promise in John 14:16-17 that the Spirit will be with believers forever. and you do not need anyone to teach you But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things so remain in Him as you have been taught Persons / Places / Events 1. John the ApostleThe author of 1 John, one of Jesus' original twelve disciples, known for his close relationship with Christ and his emphasis on love and truth. 2. The Recipients of 1 John Early Christians, likely in Asia Minor, facing challenges from false teachings and needing reassurance of their faith and understanding of the truth. 3. False Teachers Individuals who were spreading incorrect doctrines, particularly those denying the incarnation of Christ, which John addresses throughout his epistle. 4. The Anointing Refers to the Holy Spirit, given to believers, who guides them into all truth and confirms their understanding of the gospel. 5. The Holy Spirit The third person of the Trinity, who indwells believers, providing guidance, teaching, and assurance of their faith. Teaching Points The Role of the Holy SpiritThe Holy Spirit is our primary teacher, guiding us into all truth and helping us discern false teachings. Confidence in the Anointing Believers can have confidence in the anointing they have received, knowing it is genuine and sufficient for understanding spiritual truths. Discernment Against False Teachings With the Holy Spirit's guidance, believers can discern and reject false teachings that contradict the core truths of the gospel. Abiding in Christ Remaining in Christ involves continually relying on the Holy Spirit's teaching and living in accordance with the truth we have received. Community and Teaching While the Holy Spirit is our ultimate teacher, the community of believers and sound biblical teaching are still valuable for growth and accountability.Verse 27. - Parallel to verse 24, but stating as a fact what is there given as a command. The emphatic ὑμεῖς again marks the emphatic contrast between St. John's readers and the antichrists. Απ αὐτοῦ means "from Christ" (verse 20). The indicative μένει states what ought to be true of them, and is a delicate equivalent to μενέτω (verse 24). The anointing of Christ τὸ χρίσμα αὐτου abides with them as a permanent gift, and renders further apostolic teaching unnecessary. It is quite a mistake to suppose that the superfluous teaching refers to the antichrists. The ideal to which the Christian must aspire is the being led into all truth by the Spirit; he will need no human teachers then (see the remarkable parallel to this in Jeremiah 31:33, and the quotation of it in Hebrews 8:10, 11). The construction in the middle of the verse is amphibolous. We may take καὶ ἀληθές ἐστὶν either as the apodosis of ὠς ("as his anointing teacheth you... so it is true") or as a continuation of the protasis, which is resumed by καθώς ("as his anointing teacheth you... and is true... and even as"). Thereafter is better. The emphatic "and is no lie" is thoroughly Johannine (see on verse 23). The conclusion of the verse is doubtful also. The reading μένετε is certainly preferable to μενεῖτε; but μένετε may be indicative like μένει in the first clause, or imperative like μένετε in the next verse. The latter is more probable.
