Albert Barnes Commentary Romans 16:3

"Salute Prisca and Aquila my fellow-workers in Christ Jesus," — Romans 16:3 (ASV)

Greet Priscilla and Aquila. This means to salute them; an act implying the apostle's kind remembrance of them and his wishes for their welfare.

Priscilla. Priscilla was the wife of Aquila. They are mentioned in Acts 18:2, 26 and 1 Corinthians 16:19.

Paul at first found them at Corinth. Aquila was a Jew, born in Pontus, who had resided at Rome and had left Rome and come to Corinth when Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome (see Barnes on Acts 18:2).

It is probable that they were converted under the preaching of Paul. Paul lived with them, and they had the advantage of his private instruction (Acts 18:3). At the death of Claudius, or whenever the decree for the expulsion of the Jews was repealed, it is probable that they returned to Rome.

My helpers. This means his fellow workers. They had aided him in his work. A particular instance is mentioned in Acts 18:26. They are also mentioned as having been with Paul when he wrote the first letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 16:19).

In Christ Jesus. This means in the Christian cause.
