Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Corinthians 16:19

19 The churches of Asia salute you : Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord , with the church that is in their house .

He meaneth the lesser Asi[illegible: 1 letter] ; in which was Ephesus; from whence it is more probable, (according to the Arabick and Syriack Opinion) that this Epistle was written, than from Philippi, (according to the Copy followed by our Translators) And that which further adds to that probability, is, That

the Apostle mentioneth the Salutations of Aquila and Priscilla, as persons that were at that time with him; now that they lived at Ephesus, or at least went thither with Paul, and tarried there, appeareth from Acts 18.19. their saluting the Church of Corinth in the Lord, signifies their wishing them all spiritual blessings in, and from Christ.

But what is meant by the Church in their house, which joyned with Paul in this Salutation, is not so plain: we read the like, Col. 4.15. of the Church in Nymphas his house; and in Philemon's house, v. 2. and the same again of this Aquila and Priscilla, Rom. 16.5. Some think that it signifieth no more, than that their whole Families had received the Christian Faith. Others think, that divers other Christians sojourned with them; others, that the Church was wont to meet in some room in their house: but the last is not probable, either that in those times the Church kept their Meetings in any one stated place, or that Christians then had such spacious houses as could afford a room large enough for the whole Church to meet in.
