1 Corinthians 11:7-12

→Bible→New Testament→1 Corinthians
KJV

⁷ For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
⁸ For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
⁹ Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
¹⁰ For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
¹¹ Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
¹² For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.

Literal Reading

Verse 7 is cited at Comment on Creation/EC/TE - Bible implications to back the claim that "Adam was differently organised in that he was created after the “image and likeness” of God, not “after his kind” as other creatures . . .  This formation obviates the process of macroevolution, and ‘common descent’ [all creatures evolving from earlier life-forms]." (Note, however, Ecclesiastes 3:18-21 re "differently organised".)

The passage is cited again in the same "Comment" as "accepting" events of early Genesis as literally true. See comment here. —BP
