Exegesis
The comparative adverb mallon {μᾶλλον | mál-lon} with the conjunction ēper {ἤπερ | ḗ-per} creates the contrast “more than,” introducing the second object, tēn doxan tou theou {τὴν δόξαν τοῦ θεοῦ | tēn dó-xan tou the-oû} “the glory of God.”
In context — John 12:43
For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God .
