John 5:44

44 "You accept praise from one another. But you make no effort to receive the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?

John 5:44 In-Context

42 But I know you. I know that you do not have love for God in your hearts.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me. But if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him.
44 "You accept praise from one another. But you make no effort to receive the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?
45 "Do not think I will bring charges against you in front of the Father. Moses is the one who does that. And he is the one you build your hopes on.
46 "Do you believe Moses? Then you should believe me. He wrote about me.
