In 1 Jn 4.13 the EK is a partitive usage -- we are given A PORTION from the Spirit. It is therefore this portion which is the understood object of the verb.

I am looking for the object of the verb DEDWKEN on the last line. Why
some English translations take PNEUMATOS as its object when it is part
of a phrase EK ~?
Thank for your help.
Oun Kwon.
