EI with or without accent

In my grammar it says that EI (if) never gets an accent.  We can use this information to distinguish this word from EI (2nd sg. of EIMI)
I attempted to translate Rev.20:15. There EI occurs with an accent, so I tried to translate it with "you are".Needless to say I ran into trouble and ended up cheating by checking an English Bible and found it translated with "it".
Can someone explain this to me?
Thank you
