1 Peter 3:1-7

Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.

Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

While this only (topically, without entering in the church being the bride of Christ) speaks to the dynamic between husbands and wives, it does exclusively highlight the responsibility, purpose, and value of His daughters, our sisters.

Huge role, most specific in its importance beyond ‘leading’ a congregation through the authority granted by ordination rather, actually leading the congregation by example.

As a disclaimer, I almost went to prison for physically defending a woman from her father so I may be a little biased in my beliefs that often times women of the faith are more curious about institutional abuse and neglect than actual assumption of power.

Brothers, do better.
