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
Severian of Gabala
AD 425
From this we learn that man is not the image of God because of his soul or because of his body. If that were the case, woman would be the image of God in exactly the same way as man, because she too has a soul and a body. What we are talking about here is not nature but a relationship. For just as God has nobody over him in all creation, so man has no one over him in the natural world. But a woman does—she has man over her. .
