But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
All Commentaries on 1 John 2:20 Go To 1 John 2
Theophilus of Antioch
AD 184
R house is beautiful and serviceable when it has not been anointed? And what man, when he enters into this life or into the gymnasium, is not anointed with oil? And what work has either ornament or beauty unless it be anointed and burnished? Then the air and all that is under heaven is in a certain sort anointed by light and spirit; and are you unwilling to be anointed with the oil of God? Wherefore we are called Christians on this account, because we are anointed with the oil of God.
