"Many view Gal 3:28 as the egalitarian counterpart to 1 Tim 2:11-12, but the two passages function differently. 1 Tim 2:11-12 speaks directly to ecclesial roles, and a conclusion about ecclesial roles can be formed directly from the passage...Interpreters draw different conclusions from 1 Tim 2:11-12 only because they interpret the passage differently...Gal 3:28 does not operate in this way; rather, some intervening logical premise must be supplied to draw a conclusion about ecclesial roles. Interpreters [Egalitarian and Complementarian] draw different conclusions from Gal 3:28 because they supply different premises." --Douglas Walker's Dissertation from Trinity Divinity school
