Exegesis
The transition hoti de {ὅτι δὲ | hoti de} introduces the actual situation and sharpens the contrast: the repeated ek tou kosmou {ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου | ek tou kosmou} marks origin and separation, showing that the disciples do not derive their identity from that sphere.
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.
