The text does NOT say "there is no females in Christ," which would be silly, but the emphasis is on the fact that when it comes to SALVATION [see immediate antecedent] the same goes for everyone, whether you be "jew or gentile, male or female."
O' & by the way,
Deut. 7:25 certainly inludes men in the promised land. Moreover, Paul begins vs. 9 w/ "LIKEWISE" for the women in connection to the men clearly indicating that he was connecting the women's outward holiness to the men in the preceding verse. In sum...what's good for the goose is........rdp
