Exegesis
The compound subject Akylas kai Priska {Ἀκύλας καὶ Πρίσκα | A-kú-las kaî Prís-ka} is linked by syn tē kat’ oikon auton ekklesia {σὺν τῇ κατʼ οἶκον αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίᾳ | syn tē kat’ oî-kon au-tôn ek-klē-sí-ai}, an idiom for a house-based assembly, with syn governing the dative. Rendering the clauses as separate sentences preserves the layered expression of corporate and personal fellowship in the community.
