“For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.”
And Nympha and the church in her house greet you — Nympha (probably female; manuscripts vary on gender) hosts the house church, suggesting leadership and hospitality. 'The church in her house' shows the household as worshipping community. House churches were essential in early Christianity; Nympha embodies this household missionary structure.
