The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Priscilla greet you much in the Lord, with the church that is in their house.

Paul refers to two kinds of church—public and domestic. One in which everyone assembles, he calls public. The other, in which people gather together through friendship, he calls domestic. Any place where a presbyter celebrates the solemn rites is called a church. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
We should not despise the visible church which brings up everyone as children. Nor should we despise this church of the heart, seeing that she strengthens all who are sick. And we should yearn for the church on high, for she makes perfect all the saints.
Aquila and Priscilla salute you much in the Lord;— for with them he was lodging, being a tent-maker— with the Church which is in their house. This thing too is no small excellency, that they had made their very house a Church.
