ンイムフア

Nympha was a woman in Laodicea (or possibly Colossae, depending on manuscript reading) who hosted a house church in her home, and to whom Paul sent greetings through his letter to the Colossians (Colossians 4:15). House churches meeting in the homes of wealthy patrons were the primary organizational unit of early Christianity, and female householders like Nympha, Priscilla, Lydia, and Chloe played indispensable roles in providing meeting space and patronage for early Christian communities. She appears only in this single greeting.
