and *yourselves*c, the unction which ye have received from him abides in you, and ye have not need that any one should teach you; but as the same unction teaches you as to all things, and is true and is not a lie, and even as it has taught you, ye shall abide in him.

JND Translation Notes

+
c
Personal pronouns, used as the subject of a verb, are normally emphatic in Greek, but in John their use is almost universal. Still, there is some distinctive emphasis here, as also ver. 24, where "you" seems in contrast with "those that denied the Son."

W. Kelly Translation

+
27
And as for you, the anointing which ye received from him abideth in you, and ye have no need that anyone should teach you; but as the samea anointing teacheth you, and is trueb, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, yec abided in him.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
"The same" or "his" is a rather evenly-balanced question .
b
It is "true," not "truth."
c
Or, "do ye" or "ye shall."
d
The best MSS. and versions give "abide ye" or "ye abide" rather than "ye shall abide."
