This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In Rom 16:3-16 Paul sends his greetings to various brethren and sisters in Rome.
Prisca and Aquila (Priskan kai Akulan). This order always (Act 18:18, Act 18:26; 2Ti 4:19, and here) save in Act 18:2; 1Co 16:19, showing that Prisca was the more prominent. Priscilla is a diminutive of Prisca, a name for women in the Acilian gens. She may have been a noble Roman lady, but her husband was a Jew of Pontus and a tent-maker by trade. They were driven from Rome by Claudius, came to Corinth, then to Ephesus, then back to Rome, and again to Ephesus. They were good travelling Christians.
My fellow-workers (tous sunergous mou). Both in tent-making and in Christian service in Corinth and Ephesus.
