Surah Maryam Ayah 18
Maryam – 19:18
Arabic
قَالَتۡ إِنِّىٓ أَعُوذُ بِٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ مِنكَ إِن كُنتَ تَقِيًّا
What does this mean? I seek refuge from God if you are God-conscious. Why the if you are God-conscious. Is there an implication perhaps or a missing line- something like ‘if you fear God then leave me’ or ‘stay away’

I seek refuge to God from YOU. And this was possible if that “man” was God conscious or have fear of God. By hearing the name of God he would desist from doing anything indecent.
One possibility was that God Himself gave her a special protection from the evil of man and the other was that man desist himself from doing anything bad for God’s sake. This is also a refuge God has provided to people under His name.
Oath too is of that kind. We ask people to regard their oaths and covenant in the name of God.

Why is there a condition being placed on seeking refuge in God? If he was God fearing there was no need to seek refuge.

Language doesn’t follow logical reasoning. It is a sudden expression and has its own implications
