Study Note

'But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things' — the 'unction' (chrisma — anointing) that all believers possess from the Holy One is set against the false teachers' claims to special gnōsis, democratizing spiritual knowledge rather than reserving it for an initiated élite. The context of antichrists (verses 18–19) who left the community suggests that the anointing is the Spirit's indwelling gift of discernment that protects the community from doctrinal defection. John's 'ye know all things' is not a claim to omniscience but to a sufficiency of Spirit-given knowledge about Christ (verse 22: 'Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?') for the community's preservation in true faith.
