‏ John 5:44

How can ye believe? ( πως δυνασθε υμεις πιστευσαι; ). Emphasis on "ye" ( υμεις ), ye being what ye are. They were not true Jews (Ro 2:29; Es 9:28) who cared for the glory of God, but they prefer the praise of men (Mt 6:1f.; 23:5) like the Pharisees who feared to confess Christ (Joh 12:43).

From the only God ( παρα του μονου θεου ). B and W omit θεου which is certainly meant even if not genuine here. See 17:3; Ro 16:27; 1Ti 6:15f.
