Revelation 2:15

2:15 In the same way, there are also some among you who follow the teaching of the Nicolaitans. ¹ 

Revelation 2:6

2:6 But you do have this going for you: ²  You hate what the Nicolaitans ³  practice ⁴  – practices I also hate.

[2:15]  ¹ tn The term ὁμοίως (Jomoiws, “likewise”) is left untranslated because it is quite redundant.

[2:6]  ² tn Grk “But you do have this.” The words “going for you” are supplied to complete the English idiom; other phrases like “in your favor” (NIV) or “to your credit” (NRSV) could also be supplied.

[2:6]  ³ sn The Nicolaitans were a sect (sometimes associated with Nicolaus, one of the seven original deacons in the church in Jerusalem according to Acts 6:5) that apparently taught that Christians could engage in immoral behavior with impunity.

[2:6]  ⁴ tn The expression τὰ ἔργα τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν (ta erga twn Nikolaitwn) has been translated as a subjective genitive.
