# Now I want "Because of this, I want" # is the head of "has authority over". Paul uses "head" for authority in verse 3 and also to refer to a person's actual head in verse 4 and following. Since the verses are so close together, it is likely that Paul intentionally used "head" in this way. # a man is the head of a woman "men are to have authority over women" or "the husband is to have authority over the wife"
