James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Unction


Subjects in this Topic:

UNCTION.—The same Gr. word as that translated ‘anointing’ in 1Jn_2:27 is in 1Jn_2:20 rendered ‘unction’ (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘anointing’). It is used there metaphorically of the effect of the presence of the Holy Spirit upon the believer.
