1 Corinthians 16:19 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19-24

The apostle closes his epistle, I. With salutations to the church of Corinth, first from those of Asia, from Priscilla and Aquila (who seem to have been at this time inhabitants of Ephesus, vid. Acts 18:26), with the church in their house (1 Cor. 16:19), and from all the brethren (1 Cor. 16:20) at Ephesus, where, it is highly probable at least, he then was. All these saluted the church at Corinth, by Paul. Note, Christianity does by no means destroy civility and good manners. Paul could find... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:13-21

16:13-21 Be on the alert; stand fast in the faith; play the man; be strong. Let all your affairs be transacted in love. Brothers I urge you--(you know the family of Stephanas was the first-fruits of God's harvest in Achaea and that they have laid themselves out to be of help to Christ's people)--that you too may be obedient to such men and to all who share in the common work of the gospel and who toil for it. I rejoice at the arrival of Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus, because they... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - 1 Corinthians 16:19

The churches of Asia salute you ,.... The Syriac version renders it, "all" the churches. This shows, that this epistle was not written from Philippi, as the subscription to it attests, for then he would rather have said; the churches of Macedonia salute you, but at Ephesus, where he now was; see 1 Corinthians 16:8 ; and this is the more confirmed, by the following salutation of Aquila and Priscilla, who it is plain from Acts 18:18 , were with the apostle at Ephesus: Aquila and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:19

The 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 have heard before: see Acts... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Corinthians 16:19

Verse 19 19.With the Church that is in their house A magnificent eulogium, inasmuch as the name of the Church is applied to a single family! At the same time it is befitting, that all the families of the pious should be regulated in such a manner as to be so many little Churches. As to the term Congregation, which Erasmus has used in preference, it is foreign to Paul’s design; for it was not his intention to designate a crowd of persons by a mere common term, but to speak in honorable terms of... read more

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

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

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
