John Etheridge Peshitta-Aramaic NT (1849)

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

1 John 2:27

_ _ ButGreek, “And you (contrasting the believing readers with the seducers; the words ‘and you’ stand prominent, the construction of the sentence following being altered, and no verb agreeing with ‘and you’ until ‘need not’) ... the anointing,” etc. (resumed from 1 John 2:20).

_ _ received of him — (John 1:16). So we “are unto God a sweet savor of Christ.”

_ _ abideth in you — He tacitly thus admonishes them to say, when tempted by seducers, “The anointing abideth in us; we do not need a teacher [for we have the Holy Spirit as our teacher, Jeremiah 31:34; John 6:45; John 16:13]; it teaches us the truth; in that teaching we will abide” [Bengel].

_ _ and — and therefore. God is sufficient for them who are taught of Him; they are independent of all others, though, of course, not declining the Christian counsel of faithful ministers. “Mutual communication is not set aside, but approved of, in the case of those who are partakers of the anointing in one body” [Bengel].

_ _ the same anointing — which ye once for all received, and which now still abides in you.

_ _ of — “concerning.”

_ _ all things — essential to salvation; the point under discussion. Not that the believer is made infallible, for no believer here receives the Spirit in all its fullness, but only the measure needful for keeping him from soul-destroying error. So the Church, though having the Spirit in her, is not infallible (for many fallible members can never make an infallible whole), but is kept from ever wholly losing the saving truth.

_ _ no lie — as Antichristian teaching.

_ _ ye shall abide in him — (1 John 2:24, end); even as “the anointing abideth in you.” The oldest manuscripts read the imperative, “abide in Him.”

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 1 John 2:20-27.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

1 John 2:27

Ye need not that any should teach you, save as that anointing teacheth you — Which is always the same, always consistent with itself. But this does not exclude our need of being taught by them who partake of the same anointing. Of all things — Which it is necessary for you to know. And is no lie — Like that which antichrist teaches. Ye shall abide in him — This is added both by way of comfort and of exhortation. The whole discourse, 1 John 2:18-27 is peculiarly adapted to little children.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

1 John 2:27

But the (t) anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye (u) need not that any man teach you: but as the same (x) anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

(t) The Spirit who you have received from Christ, and who has led you into all truth.

(u) You are not ignorant of those things, and therefore I teach them not as things that were never heard of, but call them to your mind as things which you do know.

(x) He commends both the doctrine which they had embraced, and also highly praises their faith, and the diligence of those who taught them, yet so, that he takes nothing from the honour due to the Holy Spirit.
