For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:7 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Although man and woman are of the same substance, the man has relational priority because he is the head of the woman. He is greater than she is by cause and order, but not by substance. Woman is the glory of man, but there is an enormous distance between that and being the glory of God. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
