For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 11:12 Go To 1 Corinthians 11
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.
