Revelation 2:6

But you do have this going for you: ¹  You hate what the Nicolaitans ²  practice ³  – practices I also hate.

But you have this in your favour: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

‘Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

But there is this about you that is good: You hate the deeds of the immoral Nicolaitans, just as I do.

"You do have this to your credit: You hate the Nicolaitan business. I hate it, too.

But at least you have the credit of hating the works of the Nicolaitans, as I do.

Yet this is to your credit: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

"But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

But you do have this going for you: ¹  You hate what the Nicolaitans ²  practice ³  – practices I also hate.

¹ 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 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.

³ tn The expression τὰ ἔργα τῶν Νικολαϊτῶν (ta erga twn Nikolaitwn) has been translated as a subjective genitive.
