Exegesis
The clause opens with ei mē {εἰ μὴ | eí mē}, a conditional frame that introduces a contrary-to-fact possibility.
The sequence hamartian ouk eichosan {ἁμαρτίαν οὐκ εἴχοσαν | hamartían ouk eíchosan} expresses the unreal consequence, with the imperfect highlighting a hypothetical state that never existed apart from His presence and words.
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.
