The churches in the province of Asia
This phrase refers to the early Christian communities located in the Roman province of Asia, which is part of modern-day Turkey. The Greek word for "churches" is "ekklesiai," meaning assemblies or gatherings of believers. These churches were significant in the spread of Christianity, as Asia Minor was a hub of early Christian activity. Historically, this region included cities like Ephesus, where Paul spent considerable time preaching and teaching. The mention of these churches highlights the interconnectedness of the early Christian communities and their shared mission.

send you greetings
The act of sending greetings was a common practice in ancient letters, signifying fellowship and unity among believers. The Greek word "aspazomai" is used here, which means to embrace or salute. This conveys a sense of warmth and affection, emphasizing the bond between the Corinthians and the Asian churches. It reflects the early church's emphasis on community and mutual support, transcending geographical boundaries.

Aquila and Priscilla
Aquila and Priscilla were a Jewish Christian couple who played a crucial role in the early church. They are mentioned several times in the New Testament as co-workers with Paul. Their names are of Latin origin, indicating their Roman citizenship. Historically, they were tentmakers by trade, like Paul, and were expelled from Rome by Emperor Claudius. Their presence in Corinth and later in Ephesus shows their dedication to the ministry and their role as leaders in the early church.

greet you warmly in the Lord
The phrase "greet you warmly" uses the Greek word "aspazomai" again, but with the added emphasis of "warmly," indicating a deep, heartfelt connection. "In the Lord" signifies that their greeting is rooted in their shared faith in Christ. This phrase underscores the spiritual kinship that binds believers together, transcending personal acquaintance and rooted in their common identity in Christ.

along with the church that meets at their house
The early Christian practice of meeting in homes is highlighted here. The Greek word "oikos" means house or household, indicating that the early church often gathered in private homes for worship and fellowship. This practice was both practical and symbolic, as it fostered intimate community and allowed for the spread of the Gospel in a personal setting. Aquila and Priscilla's home served as a center for Christian worship, reflecting their commitment to hospitality and leadership within the church.

(19) The churches of Asia salute you.--This and the following verse are occupied with the salutations from the churches throughout Asia; from the church in the house of Aquila and Priscilla; and finally, from "all the brethren." Aquila and Priscilla had been the Apostle's friends at Corinth (Acts 18:1-3), and he now was with them at Ephesus. (See Romans 16:3-5; 2Timothy 4:19.) Probably by "the church in their house" is meant a group of foreigners then resident in Ephesus, and accustomed to meet there for worship, as distinct from those who had been converted in Ephesus.

Verses 19-24. - Salutations and autograph conclusion. Verse 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, 2, 26; Romans 16:3, 5.) Priscilla. Most of the uncials have the shorter form, Prisca. In some manuscripts (D, E, F, G) and versions (e.g. the Vulgate) we find the addition, "with whom also I am lodging." The Church that is in their house. The time for large common churches for public worship had not yet arrived, Hence, when the Christian community numbered more than could meet in one place, the congregations were held in separate houses (Romans 16:4, 15; Acts 2:46; Colossians 4:15; Philemon 1:2).
