John 5:42
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
