Exegesis
The participial phrase doxan par’ allēlōn lambanontes {δόξαν παρ᾽ ἀλλήλων λαμβάνοντες | dóxan par᾽ allḗlōn lambánontes} literally ‘receiving glory from one another’ modifies the subject and can be taken causally: their ongoing habit of mutual honor-seeking prevents genuine faith.
The accusative doxan {δόξαν | dó-xan} here denotes honor or approval, while par’ allēlōn {παρ᾽ ἀλλήλων | par᾽ allḗlōn} highlights the horizontal, intra-group source of that honor.
In context — John 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 ?
