We see Paul listing Priscilla first, before her husband, Aquila, when describing their teaching relationship with Apollos. It would not have been common for a wife to be named before her husband. Nearly always, husbands were named before their wives, and when they were not, the author had a reason for reversing the order. It seems likely that Priscilla was a leader and teacher for Paul to address them like that.
