John 5:44

How can ye believe? (pwv dunasqe umeiv pisteusai). Emphasis on "ye" (umeiv), ye being what ye are. They were not true Jews (Romans 2:29; Esther 9:28) who cared for the glory of God, but they prefer the praise of men (Matthew 6:1 f.; Matthew 23:5) like the Pharisees who feared to confess Christ (John 12:43).

From the only God (para tou monou qeou). B and W omit qeou which is certainly meant even if not genuine here. See John 17:3; Romans 16:27; I Timothy 6:15 f.
