How can you believe, who receive honor one of another, and seek not the honor that comes from God only?
All Commentaries on John 5:44 Go To John 5
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
How can ye believe, &c. "Ye love human glory, brief and poor: wherefore ye contemn Me, who despise human glory, and teach that it ought to be contemned; and that the Divine and eternal glory ought to be aimed at, which God will begin in the saints on earth, and bring to perfection in Heaven."
