Exegesis
The second clause, ho kosmos di’ autou egeneto {ὁ κόσμος διʼ αὐτοῦ ἐγένετο | ho kósmos di' autoû egéneto}, places ho kosmos as grammatical subject, with the prepositional phrase di’ autou expressing agency through the genitive pronoun: the world “came into being” through Him. The aorist middle egeneto summarizes the act of creation as a completed event.
In context — John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him.
