“But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
Yet this you have in your favor: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate — the Nicolaitans appear to advocate compromise with pagan society, possibly including eating meat sacrificed to idols or sexual immorality. Ephesus's hatred of their works (not their persons) represents right discernment, though love must still characterize the church's stance.
