Exegesis
The object se ton monon alethinon theon {σὲ τὸν μόνον ἀληθινὸν θεόν | sé ton monon alēthinon theon} places the one addressed at the front of the object phrase, then qualifies Him with exclusivity and authenticity through monon {μόνον | mónon} ‘only’ and alethinon {ἀληθινὸν | alēthinón} ‘true, genuine’.
In context — John 17:3
And this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God , and Jesus Christ , whom You have sent.
