Exegesis
The accusative phrase ten agapen tou theou {τὴν ἀγάπην τοῦ θεοῦ | tḕn agápēn toû theoû} “the love of God” contains a genitive construction that can be read either as a subjective genitive (the love that comes from God) or an objective genitive (love directed toward God); the surrounding context of refusal to receive Jesus suggests a lack of genuine, God-related love in any sense.
In context — John 5:42
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves .
