13 Greet Rufus, a choice man in the Lord, also his mother and mine. 14 Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them. 15 Greet Philologus and Julia, Nereus and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints who are with them. In the Bible, the Priests, High Priest, Kings, Military leaders, apostles, writers of the Bible, elders, are all men. The woman has her role, the man has his.
All positions are essential, but they have different roles.
All are essential, but they each have different roles. When people speak of which is more important, or which is superior, or which is better, men or women, they are exposing their ignorance. They are equal before God, but they have different roles to fulfill. Both men and women must work together and complement each other rather than compete with each other. Both must be faithful to the roles which God appointed for both.
