male and female

Male and female I created them. There is neither male nor female in Christ, but in this world the distinctions between the sexes are recognized and rightly so. Each is in turn subject to typical behaviors common to men or women respectively. Each may smile at the traits of the other or be more openly critical of things they regard as weaknesses and failings that they themselves are not as subject to. My word tells you to give honor to the weaker vessel. This is stated as an admonition toward men regarding women but it could be considered to go both directions. I want everyone to give honor and grace to everyone else that you may live as brothers and sisters together in one body.
