I Corinthians 16:19,20



I Corinthians 16:19,20 The churches of Asia salute you. Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house. All the brethren greet you. Greet ye one another with an holy kiss. Paul sent everyone in Corinth a hearty "hey!" And Priscilla and Aquila sent them a big "hello" too! Priscilla and Aquila had been booted from Rome by Emperor Claudius and had met Paul in Corinth where they were converted to followers of Jesus Christ. When Paul left Corinth, Priscilla and Aquila went with him to Ephesus as missionaries. All three were tent makers and paid their way while in Ephesus. The church in Ephesus had its beginning in their house. I can only imagine that the people were pleased to hear that Priscilla and Aquila sent them greetings because they were sent out from the congregation in Corinth. And i am sure that the Corinthian church was proud of the work Priscilla and Aquila were doing in Ephesus. What a blessing they were! And what a great example for us to follow!
