Source heading; not independently verified

The apostle Paul, at the conclusion of his epistle
to the church of God at Rome, very lovingly saluting
different saints residing there, mentions, among
others, two persons who had laid down their own
necks for his life; also two others whom he calls his
fellow-prisoners, doubtless, because they were subject,
with him, to like persecution and suffering on
account of the name of Christ. All these he mentions
by name, and salutes them in apostolic manner.

Of the first two he writes thus: “Greet Priscilla
and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus: who have
for my life laid down their own necks.” Rom.
16:3,4.

The last two he mentions in this manner: “Salute
Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
fellow-prisoners, who are of note among the apostles,
who also were in Christ before me.” Verse 7.

What was the end of these persons, is stated neither
in Paul’s epistles nor in any other part of the
New Testament; but other writers hold, that, in the
aforementioned persecution of Nero, they suffered
and fought unto death for the truth of Jesus Christ;
which can not well be contradicted, since the bloodthirstiness
of this emperor, especially against the
Christians, was so great, that but few of those who
fell into his hands escaped without bloodshed or a
miserable death. See above.
