John Chrysostom, on 1Cor 11:8
John Chrysostom · A.D. 347–407
1Cor 11:8 · Douay-Rheims
“For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man.”
On this verse:
“Then, having affirmed his point, he states again other reasons and causes also, leading thee to the first creation, and saying thus: "For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man." But if to be of any one, is a glory to him of whom one is, much more the being an image of him. "For neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man." This is again a second superiority, nay, rather also a third, and a fourth, the first being, that Christ is the head of us, and we of the woman; a second, that we are the glory of God, but the woman of us; a third, that we are not of the woman, but she of us; a fourth, that we are not for her, but she for us.”
