Exegesis
The clause is a single coordinated sentence built around the finite verb philousi {φιλοῦσι | phi-loû-si} ‘they love’, with the postpositive de {δὲ | de} giving it a mildly contrastive or continuative force in the wider discourse.
In context — Matthew 23:6
But they love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues ,
