    PŌS DY-nas-the hy-MEIS pi-STEU-sai DO-ksan par al-LÊ-lōn lam-BA-non-tes kai tēn DO-ksan tēn pa-RA tou MO-nou the-OU ou dzē-TEI-te

Exegesis

The second occurrence of doxan with the expanded phrase tēn para tou monou theou {τὴν παρὰ τοῦ μόνου θεοῦ | tḕn parà toû mónou theoû} ‘the glory from the only God’ sets an antithetical parallel: human glory versus divine glory.

In contextJohn 5:44

How are you able to believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that is from the only God ?
