Romans 16:5

EpaenetusJesusAsia
Fellowship and the church

3 Greet Prisca and Aquila, my fellow workers in Christ Jesus,

4 who have risked their lives for me. Not only I but all the churches of the Gentiles are grateful to them.

Greet also the church that meets at their house. Greet my beloved Epenetus, who was the first convert to Christ in the province of Asia.

6 Greet Mary, who has worked very hard for you.

7 Greet Andronicus and Junia, my fellow countrymen and fellow prisoners. They are outstanding among the apostles, and they were in Christ before I was.
