Exegesis
The verse opens with the fronted accusative phrase ekklēsian {ἐκκλησίαν | ek-klē-sí-an} governed by the imperative aspásasthe {ἀσπάσασθε | aspásasthe}, emphasizing the house assembly (kat᾽ oîkon autôn {κατ᾽ οἶκον αὐτῶν | kat᾽ oî-kon autôn}).
The prepositional idiom kat᾽ oîkon {κατ᾽ οἶκον | kat᾽ oî-kon} with autôn in the genitive denotes location “in their house.”
In context — Romans 16:5
And also greet the assembly that meets in their house. Greet Epaenetus, my beloved, who is the firstfruits from Asia to Christ .
