The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19

The Churches of Asia. Proconsular Asia. There was a constant interchange of voyages between the western coast of Asia and Corinth. Aquila and Priscilla. This admirable Christian husband and wife had no small share in founding the Churches both of Corinth and Ephesus. Being St. Paul's partners in trade, he spent much time with them. (For all that is known of them. see Acts 18:1 , Acts 18:2 , Acts 18:26 ; Romans 16:3 , Romans 16:5 .) Priscilla. Most of the uncials have the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19

The Church in the house. This expression is used concerning Aquila and Priscilla, who had been the apostle's friends at Corinth ( Acts 18:1-3 ). A similar reference is found in Romans 16:3-5 ; 2 Timothy 4:19 . At the time of St. Paul's writing this Epistle, Aquila and Priscilla were with the apostle at Ephesus, and it is probable that they opened their house or lodging as a place of worship for the Christian foreigners or strangers who happened to be visiting Ephesus. Some, however,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19-20

Christian greetings. In St. Paul's Epistles personal messages occur in juxtaposition with doctrinal statements and arguments and moral counsels. Their occurrence makes us feel the true humanity of this method of religious communication; we gain an insight into the heart, not of the apostle alone, but of his fellow labourers and friends. And we cannot but admire the evident power of Christianity to hallow and ennoble, to refine and bless, the relations subsisting among friends. I. FROM... read more

Salutations. "The Churches of Asia salute you," etc. On these salutations we cannot do better than transcribe the remarks of F.W. Robertson:—"We make a remark respecting salutations generally. This Epistle has many, but they are not so numerous as in that to the Romans. In both of them individuals are mentioned by name. It was no mere general assurance of attachment he gave them, but one of his personal knowledge and affection. I. ST . PAUL 'S PERSONAL CONSIDERATIONS WERE NOT ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19-24

Closing words. The salutations follow: first, from the Churches of Asia; then from Aquila and Priscilla, honoured names in the Churches; again front the Ephesian brethren. Let them renew their fellowship and pledge their love again "with a holy kiss." The work of the amanuensis over, St. Paul adds the salutation from himself with his own hand, "The salutation of me Paul." And the words follow, "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema," let him become accursed;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:20

All the brethren. The Ephesian Church in general. With an holy kiss. The kiss of peace is mentioned in Romans 16:16 ; 2 Corinthians 13:12 ; 1 Peter 5:14 . It was a sign of the reconciliation of all dissensions. But the abuse of the practice and the hideous heathen calumnies which it helped to perpetuate, led to its abolition. In the Roman Church a shadow of it still remains in the custom of the congregation kissing the pax after the priest has kissed it. The custom still continues... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:21

With mine own hand. Every one of St. Paul's Epistles, except that to the Galatians ( Galatians 6:11 ), seems to have been written by an amanuensis. The blaze of light in the vision on the road to Damascus seems to have left him with acute and permanent ophthalmia as his "thorn in the flesh;" and this would naturally disincline him to the physical labour of writing. When he did write, his letters seem to have been large and straggling ( Galatians 6:11 ), But this was an age in which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:21-22

A negative crime and positive punishment. "If any man love not," etc. The words contain two things. I. A NEGATIVE CRIME . "If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ," etc. We make three remarks on this state of mind in relation to Christ. 1. It is unreasonable. There is everything in him to call out the highest love. There are three kinds of love to which we are susceptible, and which are incumbent on us— gratitude, esteem, and benevolence. The first requires a... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:19

The 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 - See the note on Acts 18:26.Much in the... read more
