Romans 12:6-8 — teaching and leading are listed as spiritual gifts alongside gifts women clearly have

Things I Didn't Know as a Complementarian: Women in Ministry part 6 01:35:34 – 01:37:06

Mike examines the gifts list in Romans 12 to determine whether women can have teaching and leadership gifts.

Romans 12:6-8 lists: prophecy (women have), service (women have), teaching, exhortation, giving (women have), leading, and acts of mercy (women have). The Greek word for 'leads' means leadership (like the captain of a ship) and lexicons and translations agree it means leadership in this context. Women have every other gift on the list — it would be arbitrary to exclude them from teaching and leading.
