Verse 18
Verse 19
Jerome Murphy–O’Connor wrote p. 48:
The first churches may have occupied the upper-level living quarters of shops like this [his picture is that of a thermopolium—see my previous post]. Shopkeepers typically rented such . . . rooms [from landlords], which opened onto the sidewalk, and then built a wooden platform halfway up to divide the room into two levels [see the picture above!]. They used the lower level for their shop and the upper level for living quarters. . . . . Statements that Prisca and Aquila, at Ephesus and Rome, hosted “a church in their house” (1 Corinthians 16:19; Romans 16:5), or more literally, “the group [of believers] which meets in their home,” suggest that the early Christians met in the living room above Prisca and Aquila’s shop. Such a room could probably accommodate 10 to 20 persons. This may explain why Paul, at Corinth, preached in the synagogue and later in the house of Titius Justus, rather than in Prisca and Aquila’s home, where he lived (Acts 18:3-7), as these locations could accommodate larger crowds than a room above a shop.
Verse 22
O Lord, come! . . See the ISBE article on "Maranatha".
Verse 24
1 Corinthians 16:24
Post comments in the KJV.
The First Corinthian epistle was written from Ephesus (not Philippi).
