2 Timothy 4:19
19 Salute [aspazomai] Prisca [Priska] and [kai] Aquila, [Akulas] and [kai] the household [oikos] of Onesiphorus. [Onesiphoros]KJV-Interlinear
19 Greet Prisca and Aquila, and the household of Onesiphorus.
NASB
In
closing, Paul makes mention of old friends, never forgetting those with whom he
had been acquainted over the years.
Prisca
(Priscilla) and Aquila met Paul at Corinth.
They are mentioned throughout Acts 18.
Aquila was a tent maker as was Paul.
Paul stayed with them during his stay in Corinth.
Paul
took them with him to Ephesus, and while there, Priscilla and Aquila met a
fellow Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and took him aside and
explained to him the way of God more accurately.
In
his letter to the Roman church, Paul sent greetings to Prisca and Aquila, indicating
that they were again living in Corinth.
The
household of Onesiphorus, was mentioned earlier in this letter in chapter 1. And the repetition of the mention indicates
that this family was indeed Christian.
Time
and distance may separate people, but when a legitimate relationship in truth,
has been formed, then no amount of time, and no distance will diminish that
relationship.
Pleasant
memories are never lost, but will follow you everywhere. Relationships are built on trust and
truth. Good friends never seek to take
advantage of each other, never seek to use each other for ones own personal
advantage, and certainly never seek to blame each other when things do not go
well.
