Ἑλληνιστάς
Hellenists
Hellenists was the name for Jews in the Roman Empire who spoke the Greek language and followed Greek customs. See how you translated this name in 6:1.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ δὲ ἐπεχείρουν ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν
they (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐλάλει Τέ καί συνεζήτει πρός τούς Ἑλληνιστάς οἱ δέ ἐπεχείρουν ἀνελεῖν αὐτόν)
The implication is that the Hellenists were not able to refute what Saul was saying about Jesus, and so they saw him as a threat and wanted to get rid of him. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [and because they could not refute him, they were attempting to kill him]

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
