Exegesis
The verse opens with the articular noun phrase to pneuma tēs alētheias {τὸ πνεῦμα τῆς ἀληθείας | tò pneûma tês a-lē-theí-as} ‘the Spirit of truth’; the genitive tēs alētheias {τῆς ἀληθείας | tês a-lē-theí-as} functions as a genitive of quality, characterizing the Spirit by truth rather than adding a separate object.
The first hoti {ὅτι | hó-ti} clause gives the reason: ou theorei auto oude ginōskei {οὐ θεωρεῖ αὐτὸ οὐδὲ γινώσκει | ou the-ō-reî au-tò ou-dé gi-nṓ-skei} pairs sight and knowledge as linked forms of non-recognition, reinforced by the negative coordination.
In context — John 14:17
The Spirit of truth, whom the world is not able to receive, because it does not see Him nor know Him. You know Him, because He remains with you and will be in you.
