Context
Romans 16:5 should be read within the flow of its chapter and the larger argument of Romans.
Common Interpretations
The early believers didn't say "Let's go to church." They were the church. Their identity was communal and spiritual — not geographical or architectural. When ekklēsia was replaced with "church," and "church" gradually became synonymous with a building, the identity that Scripture gives to every believer got transferred to an address.
