Exegesis

The verse opens with the articular noun phrase to pneuma tēs alētheias {τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας | tò pneûma tês a-lē-theí-as} ‘the Spirit of truth’; the genitive tēs alētheias {τῆς ἀληθείας | tês a-lē-theí-as} functions as a genitive of quality, characterizing the Spirit by truth rather than adding a separate object.
