1 Corinthians 11:1-16

v.2
"I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the teachings, just as I passed them on to you. Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."

v.11
"In the Lord however, woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. For as woman come from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God."

God, Christ, Man, Woman
According to my commentary
This section focuses primarily on proper attitudes and conduct in worship, not on the marriage relationship or on the role of women in the church. We see how God created lines of authority in order for his created world to function smoothly. One sex is not better than the other, we must not let the issue of authority and submission become a wedge. Instead we should use our unique gifts to strengthen our churches and glorify God.
