Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ.
Ver. 5. The church that is in their house] The house of George Prince of Anhalt, for the good orders therein observed, is said to have been Ecclesia, Academia, Curia. the church, the university and the government.
The first fruits of Achaia] The first that received the gospel there. A singular commendation, a sweet happiness. God's soul hath desired such first ripe fruits, Micah 7:1, such primroses.
