Exegesis
The sentence begins with the emphatic pronoun egō {ἐγώ | egṓ} before the perfect verb dedōka {δέδωκα | dédōka}, placing Jesus at the front of the statement and presenting the giving of the Father’s word as a completed act whose effects remain in force.
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.
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.
