Νικολαΐτης G3531
Nicolaitans, members of a heretical sect in early Christian churches
A heterodox group condemned in Revelation 2:6 and 2:15, appearing in the letters to Ephesus and Pergamum. While John commends the Ephesians for hating the Nicolaitans' works, he rebukes the Pergamenes for tolerating them. Early church tradition (Irenaeus, Hippolytus) associated them with Nicolas of Antioch (Acts 6:5) or with antinomian practices, but their exact identity remains debated. What's clear is that their teaching compromised Christian ethics, possibly regarding food offered to idols and sexual immorality.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The Nicolaitans, a first-century sect whose practices the risen Christ condemns. Revelation pairs them with Balaamites who similarly led Israel into idolatry and immorality. The name's etymology (perhaps 'conqueror of the people' or linked to Nicolas) is uncertain, but their threat to church purity is explicit. Cross-linguistic transliterations (nicolaítas, Nikolaiten) preserve the Greek name, reflecting scholarly uncertainty about the group's precise identity and teachings. 2×
