Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase peri tēs hamartias autōn {περὶ τῆς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν | perì tês hamartías autôn} narrows the lack of excuse to the specific matter of their own sin, reinforcing the moral accountability created by revelation.
In context — John 15:22
If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been accountable for sin; but now they have no pretext concerning their sin.
