²⁰ But you have an anointing^(A) from the Holy One,^(B) and all of you know the truth.^[a](C)

²¹ “As for me, this is my covenant^(A) with them,” says the Lord. “My Spirit,^(B) who is on you, will not depart from you,^(C) and my words that I have put in your mouth^(D) will always be on your lips, on the lips of your children and on the lips of their descendants—from this time on and forever,” says the Lord.

¹³ But when he, the Spirit of truth,^(A) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.^(B) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.

¹⁴ He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.

¹⁰ these are the things God has revealed^(A) to us by his Spirit.^(B)

The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. ¹¹ For who knows a person’s thoughts^(C) except their own spirit^(D) within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. ¹² What we have received is not the spirit^(E) of the world,^(F) but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.

¹⁵ if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church^(A) of the living God,^(B) the pillar and foundation of the truth.

²⁷ As for you, the anointing^(A) you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things^(B) and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.^(C)
