7-9. Argument, also, from man's more immediate relation to God, and the woman's to man. he is . . . image . . . glory of God —being created in God's "image," first and directly: the woman, subsequently, and indirectly, through the mediation of man. Man is the representative of God's "glory" this ideal of man being realized most fully in the Son of man ( Psalms 8:4 ; Psalms 8:5 ; compare 2 Corinthians 8:23 ). Man is declared in Scripture to be both the "image," and in the "likeness," of God (compare 2 Corinthians 8:23- : ). But "image" alone is applied to the Son of God ( Colossians 1:15 ; compare Colossians 1:15- : ). "Express image," Greek, "the impress." The Divine Son is not merely " like " God, He is God of God, "being of one substance (essence) with the Father." [ Nicene Creed ]. woman . . . glory of . . . man —He does not say, also, " the image of the man." For the sexes differ: moreover, the woman is created in the image of God, as well as the man ( Genesis 1:26 ; Genesis 1:27 ). But as the moon in relation to the sun ( Genesis 37:9 ), so woman shines not so much with light direct from God, as with light derived from man, that is, in her order in creation; not that she does not in grace come individually into direct communion with God; but even here much of her knowledge is mediately given her through man, on whom she is naturally dependent. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-8" class="com-number"
