Exegesis
The verse begins with hos {ὡς | hôs}, introducing a temporal clause that frames the command “while you have the light” by using the present indicative ékhete {ἔχετε | ékhete} to denote ongoing but limited possession of phôs {φῶς | phôs}.
In context — John 12:36
While you have the light , believe in the light so that you may become sons of light.
