1 Corinthiens 11:8 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:8

For the man is not of the woman
In the present state of things, and according to the ordinary course of generation and propagation of mankind, man is of the woman, though not without the means of man; he is conceived in her, bore by her, and born of her; but the apostle respects the original formation of man, as he was immediately made by God out of the dust of the earth, before the woman was in being, and so not of her:

but the woman of the man;
she was made out of his rib, and took both her name and nature from him; God was the author, and man the matter of her being; her original under God, is owing to him; and therefore as he was first in being, he must be superior to her: this serves to prove all that has been as yet said; as that man is the head of the woman, the woman is the glory of man, what he may glory in as being from him; and therefore there should be this difference in their appearance at public worship.

1 Corinthiens 11:8 In-Context

6 Que si la femme n'est point couverte, qu'elle se coupe aussi les cheveux. Mais s'il est honteux pour une femme d'avoir les cheveux coupés, ou d'être rasée, qu'elle soit couverte.
7 Pour ce qui est de l'homme, il ne doit pas se couvrir la tête, puisqu'il est l'image et la gloire de Dieu; mais la femme est la gloire de l'homme.
8 En effet, l'homme n'a pas été pris de la femme, mais la femme a été prise de l'homme;
9 Et l'homme n'a pas été créé pour la femme, mais la femme a été créée pour l'homme.
10 C'est pourquoi la femme, à cause des anges, doit avoir sur sa tête une marque de l'autorité sous laquelle elle est.
