John 5:44

Ye believe. Again the emphatic ye, the reason for the emphasis being given in the succeeding clause.

Which receive [λ α μ β α ν ο ν τ ε ς]. Literally, receiving (as ye do) : seeing that ye receive.

Seek not the honor that cometh from God only [κ α ι τ η ν δ ο ξ α ν τ η ν μ ο ν ο υ θ ε ο υ ο υ ζ η τ ε ι τ ε]. The Rev. gives it capitally, following the Greek order : and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not. Not God only, which entirely overlooks the force of the definite article; but the only God. Compare 1 Timothy 6:15; 1 Timothy 6:16; John 17:3; Romans 16:27.
