¹² Now ^(A)we have received not ^(B)the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. ¹³ And we impart this ^(C)in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, ^(D)interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.^[a]

²⁶ I write these things to you about ^(A)those who are trying to deceive you. ²⁷ But ^(B)the anointing that you received from him abides in you, and ^(C)you have no need that anyone should teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about everything, and ^(D)is true, and is no lie—just as it has taught you, abide in him.
