Exegesis
The opening ei {εἰ | ei} clause with ete {ἦτε | ē-te} sets up an unreal premise about origin and belonging, while the apodosis uses an {ἂν | an} with ephilei {ἐφίλει | e-phi-lei} to express the hypothetical outcome that would have followed from that premise.
In context — John 15:19
If you were from the world, the world would favor its own; but because you are not from the world, instead I chose you out of the world; for this reason the world hates you.
