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

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

OET (OET-RV) But you do have this going for you: you hate what the disciples of Nicolaus are doing,[fn] just like I do.
2:7 Nicolaus’ disciples ate food that had been sacrificed to idols and committed sexual sins.
OET-LV But this you_are_having, that you_are_hating the works of_the Nikolaitaʸs, which also_I am_hating.

(Alla touto eⱪeis, hoti miseis ta erga tōn Nikolaitōn, ha kagō misō.)

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
2:6 Not much is known of the Nicolaitans, but their teaching (2:15) seems to link them with those who ate food sacrificed to idols and who were involved in sexual immorality, behavior prohibited by the council in Jerusalem (see Acts 15:20, 29). Irenaeus argued (about AD 180) that the Nicolaitans were dependent on Nicolas (Acts 6:3-5) and that John’s writings were directed against the heresies of the Nicolaitans who followed Cerinthus (see 1 John Book Introduction, “Setting”).
