Romans 16:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Paul’s Greetings. 3 Greet Prisca and Aquila,[a] my co-workers in Christ Jesus,(A) 4 who risked their necks for my life, to whom not only I am grateful but also all the churches of the Gentiles; 5 greet also the church at their house.[b] Greet my beloved Epaenetus, who was the firstfruits in Asia for Christ.(B)

- 16:3 Prisca and Aquila: presumably the couple mentioned at Acts 18:2; 1 Cor 16:19; 2 Tm 4:19.
- 16:5 The church at their house: i.e., that meets there. Such local assemblies (cf. 1 Cor 16:19; Col 4:15; Phlm 2) might consist of only one or two dozen Christians each. It is understandable, therefore, that such smaller groups might experience difficulty in relating to one another on certain issues. Firstfruits: cf. Rom 8:23; 11:16; 1 Cor 16:15.
