Exegesis
The repeated kosmos {κόσμος | kosmos} at the beginning and end gives the verse a ring-like rhetorical frame, so the whole statement moves from unreal belonging, to actual separation, to the consequence of that separation.

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.
