📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the church in Corinth from Ephesus in Asia Minor, where he was actively planting churches and facing various challenges. Aquila and Priscilla were Jewish Christians who had traveled with Paul, working as tentmakers, and they commonly hosted early Christian gatherings in their home, as formal church buildings did not yet exist. This greeting underscores the close-knit network of believers across regions, showing how personal relationships strengthened the early church.
