This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 12:43. Ἠγάπησαν, they loved) the Gospel demands, and produces[works] in men, a renunciation of human things.-τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, the glory [praise] of men) such as is communion in the synagogue. [And of what worth is this, when it is compared with the right of fellow-citizenship with saints and the household of GOD?-V. g.] He who shrinks from ignominy [incurred for Christ’s sake] already loves the glory [praise] of men.-τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ, the glory [praise] of God) Glory from God falls to the portion of those, who believe and speak out: Joh 12:26, “If any man serve Me, him will My Father honour;” ch. Joh 1:12, “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name.”
