Kephalē is the head — the physical part, and the controlling/sourcing part of a body. Paul uses it of Christ’s relation to the church: he is the kephalē; the church is the body.

Colossians 1 expands it to the whole cosmos: Christ is the head of every ruler and authority. To be Christian is to live with him as the head of one’s life, one’s church, and one’s world.
