Quick answer
Paul sends greetings from the churches of Asia and from Aquila and Priscilla with the church meeting in their home. It shows the warm bonds uniting scattered congregations.
Overview
Aquila and Priscilla were a devoted ministry couple who had worked alongside Paul and even instructed Apollos (Acts 18:2-3, 18, 26). Their home, like many in the early church, served as a meeting place for believers before dedicated buildings existed. These greetings display the wider fellowship of churches who, though separated by distance, were one family 'in the Lord' through the gospel.
