Revelation 2:6
αλλα τουτο εχεις οτι μισεις τα εργα των νικολαιτων α καγω μισω
ALLA TOUTO EXEIS hOTI MISEIS TO ERGA TWV VIKOLAITWV A KAGW MISW
i checked the archives, but didn't turn up much on VIKOLAITWV. how
much weight does the suggested interpretation of this word as "people
oppressors" hold? A.T. Robertson only mentions the historical
allusions to a heretical sect. in my opinion, if you let this be
freely translated as "people oppressors" you could equally translate
it as "victorious people." are there any constraints on translating
this title?
Merry Christmas
