This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
8. οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκ γυναικός. For man is not from woman. Second argument, drawn from the creation of mankind. The narrative in the book of Genesis establishes two facts, (1) that woman had her being originally through man, and not, as man, directly from God; and (2) that she was created for man’s advantage, and not man for hers. Not that we are to suppose, with some, that woman is in no sense to be regarded as the image and glory of God, but that man is so immediately, she mediately, through man.
