Exegesis
The relative clause tē doxē hē eichon {τῇ δόξῃ ᾗ εἶχον | tē̂ dóxē hē̂ eî-chon} ‘the glory which I had’ specifies the nature of the honor to be restored, and the temporal phrase pro tou ton kosmon einai {πρὸ τοῦ τὸν κόσμον εἶναι | pró toû tòn kós-mon eî-nai} ‘before the world existed’ situates that glory prior to creation.
In context — John 17:5
And now, Father , glorify Me alongside Yourself with the glory that I had with You before the world existed.
