Romans 16:3 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:

Greet (or, 'Salute') Priscilla. The true reading here, beyond all doubt, is 'Prisca;' but this is only a contracted form of "Priscilla" (as in 2 Timothy 4:19), as "Silas" of "Silvanus:"

And Aquila. It will be observed that the wife is here named before the husband, as also in Acts 18:18 (and Romans 16:26, according to what we take to be the true reading). From this we may infer that she was the more energetic of the two, of superior mind, and more helpful to the Church.
