1 Corinthians 16:13-14
The New American Standard Version translates it this way:
"Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love."
I went to a sermon this year in March regarding these very verses. Here are my notes on the pastor's message: "Our culture has feminized men and made women masculine. It's OKAY for men to act like men and women to act like women. To be taught as a woman that you must be an independent, strong and powerful leader by the measurements of this world to be worth anything...is to be rejected. You may be independent and strong, and these things are very necessary sometimes, but it is also good to not always be the "in control, dominant" one (personally a hard lesson). Women want to be lead, so men, be their leaders. Lead them straight to God --> straight to green pastures. Take your kids, take your wife to worship. You won't regret it."
"The Christian faith is for men, not for boys."
