SEV Biblia, Chapter 2:15
Así tambin t tienes a los que tienen la doctrina de los nicolaítas, la cual yo aborrezco.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Revelation 2:15
Verse 15. The doctrine of the Nicolaitanes] See on Revelation ii. 6.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 15. So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans , etc.] These impure heretics sprung up in the time of the apostolic church, but their doctrines were not received, and their deeds were hated, (see Revelation 2:6). This seems to design the doctrines of the church of Rome, which in this period took place; which forbid marriage to the priests, and recommended celibacy and virginity to others also; which were the source of all uncleanness and abominable lusts; for which pardons and indulgences were given, and, in process of time, brothel houses were set up, and licensed and encouraged by authority. Which thing I hate ; the doctrine of these men, as well as their deeds.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-17 - The word of God is a sword, able to slay both sin and sinners. It turn and cuts every way; but the believer need not fear this sword; yet thi confidence cannot be supported without steady obedience. As our Lor notices all the advantages and opportunities we have for duty in the places where we dwell, so he notices our temptations an discouragements from the same causes. In a situation of trials, the church of Pergamos had not denied the faith, either by open apostacy or by giving way so as to avoid the cross. Christ commends their stedfastness, but reproves their sinful failures. A wrong view of gospel doctrine and Christian liberty, was a root of bitterness from which evil practices grew. Repentance is the duty of churches an bodies of men, as well as of particular persons; those who sin together, should repent together. Here is the promise of favour to those that overcome. The influences and comforts of the Spirit of Christ, come down from heaven into the soul, for its support. This i hidden from the rest of the world. The new name is the name of adoption; when the Holy Spirit shows his own work in the believer' soul, this new name and its real import are understood by him.
