This term occurs only in 1 John 2:20²⁰But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. (1 John 2:20), though the same word, χρίδμα, is twice translated “anointing” in 1 John 2:27²⁷But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. (1 John 2:27). The Holy Spirit is an unction that permeates, as it were, the whole being of the Christian to give him Christ's character.
