Exegesis
The main verb misei {μισεῖ | misei} drives the first predicate, and the repeated phos {φῶς | phōs} creates a sharp contrast: the same light is hated and then avoided.
In context — John 3:20
For everyone who practices wickedness hates the light and does not approach the light, so that his deeds may not be exposed .
