Exegesis
The clause begins with a conditional protasis introduced by ei {Εἰ | Eí} ‘if’, which sets a real present condition.
The sequence ho kosmos humas misei {ὁ κόσμος ὑμᾶς μισεῖ | ho kósmos hymâs miseî} places the world as subject and the disciples as object, with the present tense describing ongoing hostility.
In context — John 15:18
If the world hates you, recognize that it has already hated Me before you.
