12. 1 Corinthians 11:3: “The head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.” Like all texts having to do with gender, this passage is debated and argued over. There are three kinds of “headship” mentioned in the verse, and they are clearly not identical in quality. Nevertheless, the submission of the Son to the Father in Philippians 2 is here linked to the relationship between male and female.
