Exegesis
The causal clause hoti ouk eisin ek tou kosmou {ὅτι οὐκ εἰσὶν ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου | hóti ouk eisín ek toû kós-mou} explains the hostility by grounding it in identity and origin: the disciples do not derive their life or allegiance from that realm.
In context — John 17:14
I have entrusted Your word to them, and the world has shown hatred toward them because they are not from the world, just as I am not from the world.
