Augustine of Hippo

AD 430

Concerning the male and female sexes, what has the son of perdition to say? That the two sexes are not from God but from the devil? What has the vessel of election to say about this? “For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man through the woman— but all things are from God.” What does the devil say through the mouths of the Manichaeans about the flesh? That it is an evil substance, a creature not of God but of the enemy.

John Chrysostom

AD 407

He said not, of the woman, but he repeats the expression, from 1 Corinthians 11:7 of the man. For still this particular prerogative remains entire with the man. Yet are not these excellencies the property of the man, but of God. Wherefore also he adds, but all things of God. If therefore all things belong to God, and he commands these things, do thou obey and gainsay not.
