Context of 1 Corinthians 16:19

17I was very happy when Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus arrived here. You could not be here yourselves, but they have taken your place. 18They have helped me to feel stronger, as they also did for you. You should recognize the authority of people like them. The churches here in Asia region say ‘hello’ to you. Aquila and Priscilla, and the group of believers that meets in their house, also say ‘hello’ to you. They love you because you belong to the Lord, as they do. 20All the Christians here say ‘hello’ to you. When you meet, kiss each other as Christian brothers and sisters. 21I, Paul, am writing these words at the end of this letter with my own hand. I say ‘hello’ to you.

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 16:19

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 19The Churches of Asia salute you - i.e. The Churches in Asia Minor. Ephesus was in this Asia, and it is clear from this that the apostle was not at Philippi; had he been at Philippi, as the subscription states, he would have said, The Churches of Macedonia, not the Churches of Asia, salute you. How these places lay, in reference to each other, the reader will at once perceive by consulting the map in Acts. Aquila and Priscilla - Of these eminent persons we…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 19The churches of Asia - The word “Asia” in the New Testament usually denotes Asia Minor in general; see the note on Acts 2:9. It was sometimes used in a more limited sense, to denote the region around Ephesus, and of which Ephesus was the center and capital; see note, Acts 16:6. This is the region undoubtedly which is intended here. Salute you - Greet you; send respectful and affectionate Christian regards; see the note at Romans 16:3. Aquila and Priscilla…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 19-24Verses 19-24 Christianity by no means destroys civility. Religion should promote a courteous and obliging temper towards all. Those give a false idea of religion, and reproach it, who would take encouragement from it to be sour and morose. And Christian salutations are not mere empty compliments; but are real expressions of good-will to others, and commend them to the Divine grace and blessing. Every Christian family should be as a Christian church…Read the comment

Priscilla--(Compare Ac 18:2; Ro 16:3, 4). Originally driven out of Italy by Claudius, they had come to Corinth (whence their salutation of the Corinthians is appropriate here), and then had removed with Paul from Corinth to Ephesus (Ac 18:2, 18, 19, 26); here, as at Rome subsequently, they set up a Church (or assembly of…Read the comment
