What does 2 Timothy 4:19 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
19. Prisca and Aquila--(Ac 18:2, 3; Ro 16:3, 4; 1Co 16:19, written from Ephesus, where therefore Aquila and Priscilla must then have been). household of Onesiphorus--If he were dead at the time, the "household" would not have been called "the household of Onesiphorus." He was probably absent (see on 2Ti 1:16).

Barnes' Notes
Verse 19. Salute Priscilla and Aquila. Prisca, or Priscilla, was the wife of Aquila, though her name is sometimes mentioned first. In regard to their history, Rom 16:3. They were at Rome when Paul wrote his epistle to the Romans, but afterwards went into Asia Minor, which was the native place of Aquila, Acts 18:2, and where they probably died.

And the household of Onesiphorus. 2Ti 1:16.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 19 Salute Prisca and Aquila - Several MSS., versions, and fathers have Priscilla instead of Prisca: they are probably the same as those mentioned Act 18:18, Act 18:26. The household of Onesiphorus - See 2Tim 1:16. Onesiphorus was probably at this time dead: his family still remained at Ephesus.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on 2 Timothy 4:19-22
We need no more to make us happy, than to have the Lord Jesus Christ with our spirits; for in him all spiritual blessings are summed up. It is the best prayer we can offer for our friends, that the Lord Jesus Christ may be with their spirits, to sanctify and save them, and at last to receive them to himself. Many who believed as Paul, are now before the throne, giving glory to their Lord: may we be followers of them.
