Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

Note 1 topic: translate-names
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 but /were/_attempting /to/_kill him
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”
