And there ya have it from one whose expertise, and intellectual discipline is ancient Greek. (Suzanne McCarthy).
I’m gonna say this once and up front as a caveat and a disclaimer.  Aside from the essentials of the faith as contained in the Nicene and Athanasian creeds, there is no hard and fast formula that can be used to determine an exact meaning of scripture.  What we can do however, is identify trends by using the whole of scripture as a body of data and seeing what direction it’s going in.  So far, the egalitarian position is better supported by this body of data than the complementarian one is.
Even in the hard sciences, what was once thought to be absolute clockwork (Newton’s universe) was shown to be nothing more than a darn good approximation by a German Jew who was a patent clerk at one time.
