1 Corinthians 16:19-21 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The churches of Asia Especially those of Ephesus and its neighbourhood; salute you With all Christian affection, heartily wishing you peace and prosperity. Aquila and Priscilla Formerly members of your church, (Acts 18:2; Acts 18:18,) but who at present are with me; salute you much With singular Christian love; in the Lord In his grace and Spirit. These worthy persons lived in Corinth all the time the apostle was there. And when he departed, they accompanied him to Ephesus, (Acts 18:18,) where they remained till after he left Ephesus to go to Jerusalem. For when he returned to Ephesus, he found them there, as is plain from their salutation sent to the Corinthians in this letter, which was written from Ephesus. But they seem to have left Ephesus about the time the apostle departed to go into Macedonia. For in the letter which he wrote to the Romans from Corinth, they are saluted as then residing in Rome. With the church which is in their house The Christian congregation which assembles there. All the brethren Who labour with me in the gospel, or are members of the church here; greet you Wish you all felicity. Greet ye one another with a holy kiss See on Romans 16:16. The salutation of me Paul with mine own hand What precedes having been written by an amanuensis. See 2 Thessalonians 3:17; Colossians 4:18.
