以弗所書
5:22 你們作妻子的,當順服自己的丈夫,如同順服主。
5:23 因為丈夫是妻子的頭,如同基督是教會的頭;他又是教會全體的救主。
5:24 教會怎樣順服基督,妻子也要怎樣凡事順服丈夫。
5:25 你們作丈夫的,要愛你們的妻子,正如基督愛教會,為教會捨己。

有人說男女各有特長,男性比女性更善於決策、領導,所以男性有責任領導家庭,實在不必看成是特權,所以此段經文不存在性別歧視.

但當我們考慮一個例子便可了解這個問題.假設有一條婚姻生活指引是這樣的:丈夫應當負責拿 家中置於高處的物件.這條指引有否性別歧視呢?有人說沒有,因為男女在身體上有別,男性天生一般比女性高,所以丈夫比妻子更適合拿取家中置於高處的物件,不是性別歧視.但我們要知道生物的很多特性,例如人的身高,是因個體而異的.大多數男性比女性高,但有少數男性比少數女性矮.如果丈夫比妻子矮,妻子便比丈夫更適合拿取家中置於高處的物件.把一個責任(拿取家中置於高處的物件)自動與性別掛鉤(丈夫)而不考慮實際性況(妻子可能比丈夫高)已經是性別歧視.以下把那條指引改作不帶性別歧視,你便會更明白:丈夫或妻子高的一方應當負責拿取家中置於高處的物件.

讓我們回到經文.「丈夫是妻子的頭,…妻子…要…凡事順服丈夫。」這命令把作頭的責任自動與男性性別掛鉤,順服的責任自動與女性性別掛鉤,忽視個別夫婦間的實際情況(某對夫婦中的妻子可能比丈夫更適合作決策者),便已構成性別歧視.它歧視女性,即使她在家中更適合做頭的角式,也拒絕女性當頭的可能.它歧視男性,即使他在家中更適合做順服的角式,也拒絕男性當順服者的可能.不帶性別歧視的命令是這樣的:夫婦中善於做領導的便是頭,另一方要凡事順服,做頭的要愛另一方,為其捨己.

經文中存在性別歧視的觀念其實不是甚麼十惡不赦的大錯,經文只是自然地反影了作者當時的社會文化背景,經文中也已很好地提醒作頭的丈夫要愛護妻子.但我們今天讀經便要清楚經文中存在聖經時代文化遺留下來的性別歧視觀念,不能把經文硬套於今天每一對夫婦的身上.
