1 Corinthians 11:3

είδέναι perf. act. inf. от οιδα (G1492) знать. Def. perf. со знач. praes. Inf. дополняет гл. θέλω (G2309) praes. ind. act. я желаю,
κεφαλή (G2776) голова; в метафорическом плане это может относиться к выдающейся и определяющей части целого, но также и к происхождению. Павел не говорит, что мужчина является господином женщины; но что он — источник ее происхождения (Barrett; TDNT; Η. Wayne House, "Should a Woman Prophesy or Preach before Men?" Bib Sac 145 [1988]: 145-48; DPL, 375-77). Павел использует это слово для определения иерархической социальной структуры экономики Бога (Bruce K.Waltke, "1 Corinthians 11:2-16: An Interpretation" Bib Sac 135 [1978]: 46-57, особ. 48). Обсуждение этого отрывка см. в Craig S. Keener, Paul, Women and Wives (Peabody, Mass.: Hendrikson, 1992), 19-100.
