This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Ye believe
Again the emphatic ye, the reason for the emphasis being given in the succeeding clause.
Which receive (λαμβάνοντες)
Literally, receiving (as ye do): seeing that ye receive.
Seek not the honor that cometh from God only (καὶ τὴν δόξαν τὴν μόνου Θεοῦ οὐ ζητεῖτε)
The Rev. gives it capitally, following the Greek order: and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not. Not God only, which entirely overlooks the force of the definite article; but the only God. Compare 1Ti 6:15, 1Ti 6:16; Joh 17:3; Rom 16:27.
