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
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
[The Manichaeans say]: “The devil should not have been allowed to approach the woman.” On the contrary, she should not have allowed the devil to approach her. She was made so that, if she were unwilling, she could have prevented his approach. Then they say: “Maybe the woman should not even have been made.” This would be to admit that something good should not have been made. For there can be no doubt that the woman is good—so good that the apostle says that she is the glory of man and that all things are from God. .
