[224] The reading of the A. V. is received into Tischendorf's text and adopted by the R. V. Another reading omits και and substitutes παντες for παντα so that the passage would run thus, "Ye have an unction from the Holy One. Ye all know (I have not written unto you because ye know not) the truth." As far as the difficulty of παντα is concerned, nothing is gained by the change, as the statement recurs in a slightly varied form in ver. 27. [225] John xiv. 26. [226] "Let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning," 1 John ii. 24. Cf. "Testifying that this is the true grace of God wherein ye stand," 1 Pet. v. 12. "Even as our beloved brother Paul has written unto you," 2 Pet. iii. 15. St. Paul has thus the attestation of St. John as well as of St. Peter. [227] Ver. 27 [228] διδασκει--εδιδαξεν.

Αγαπητοι, non novit nos, quia non νυν τεκνα Θεου εσμεν, novit eum. Carissimi, και ουπω εφανερωθη nunc filii Dei sumus τι εσομεθα· οιδαμεν et nondum apparuit ὁτι εαν φανερωθη quid erimus. Scimus ὁμοιοι αυτυ εσομεθα, quoniam cum apparuerit ὁτι οψομεθα αυτον καθως similes ei erimus, εστιν. και πας ὁ εχων quoniam videbimus την ελπιδα ταυτην επ' eum sicuti est.
