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.
The comparative clause kathōs egō ouk eimi ek tou kosmou {καθὼς ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου | kathṓs egṓ ouk eimí ek toû kós-mou} then establishes Jesus Himself as the pattern for their separation.
The repeated preposition ek {ἐκ | ek} intensifies the contrast by marking source, belonging, and sphere of identity rather than simple physical location.
