1 CORINTHIANS 16:19 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.”
The churches in the province of Asia send you greetings. Aquila and Priscilla greet you warmly in the Lord, and so does the church that meets at their house — Paul relays salutations from Asian churches and specifically from Aquila and Priscilla, tent-making tentmakers and Paul's co-workers (Acts 18:2-3). The church meeting in their house marks them as house-church leaders.
Church Fathers on 1 Corinthians 16:19
“All the Churches of Asia salute you.” He is continually making the members combine and cleave together in one by means of the salutation. “Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord;” — for with them he was lodging, being a tent-maker — “with the Church which is in their house.” This thing too is no small excellency, that they had made their very house a Church.
