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.

In contextJohn 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.
