Jump to Previous Cover Covered Forasmuch Glory God's Head Image Indeed Ought Right Veil VeiledJump to Next Cover Covered Forasmuch Glory God's Head Image Indeed Ought Right Veil Veiled1 Corinthians 11 1. He reproves them, because in holy assemblies,4. their men prayed with their heads covered, 6. and women with their heads uncovered; 17. and because generally their meetings were not for the better, but for the worse; 21. as, namely, in profaning with their own feast the Lord's supper. 25. Lastly, he calls them to the first institution thereof. (7) For a man indeed.--In 1Corinthians 11:4-7 the argument against the woman's head being uncovered was based upon (a) the woman's relation to man, and (b) the man's relation to Christ in the Church. In the three following verses, 1Corinthians 11:7-9, the ground of the argument is changed, and the same conclusion is arrived at from a review of (a) the woman's relation to man, and (b) man's relation to God in the physical Creation. The external form of this argument is the same as that adopted previously. The Apostle first states what the man must not do, and then conversely what the woman must do. The Apostle here takes up the order of creation mentioned in Genesis 1, 2, and the argument runs thus:--Man was made in the image of God, and is the glory of God; but woman is the glory of the man (for woman was made out of man, and also man was not created for woman, but woman for--i.e., as a help-meet for--man). Therefore man, as a created being, according to the accepted order of creation, is the direct representative of God, and woman the direct representative of man (and only indirectly and through him of God). The spiritual equality of man and wife does not upset this relationship, and therefore an attempt to destroy the outward expression of it is to be condemned, as it would soon lead to an obliteration of the fact itself. It is to be remembered all through this passage (and it gives a further emphasis to the allusion to Adam and Eve) that St. Paul is only speaking of married women--it is most unlikely that any case had occurred of an unmarried woman attempting such an outrage upon social feeling and national custom. The Greek women when in public (except those of avowedly bad character) either wore a veil or drew the peplum, or shawl, over their heads. Verse 7. - He is the image and glory of God. Because he reflects and partakes in the glory of Christ, who is the effulgence of God and the impress of his substance (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:6; Hebrews 1:2). The woman is the glory of the man. As moonlight is to sunlight, or as the earthshine is to the moonshine. Man reflects God; woman, in her general nature in this earthly and temporal dispensation, reflects the glory of man.Parallel Commentaries ...
