1 Corinthians 11:7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
7 For a man ought not to be veiling the head, being the image and glory of God— but the woman[a] is the glory of man. 8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 9 For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake[b] of the man.

- 1 Corinthians 11:7 That is, Adam and Eve reflect their Creator’s glory, including the dominion they share as a pair, Gen 1:26-28. But Eve also reflects Adam’s glory, having been created from him (v 8) as his counterpart (v 9). The aspects of her that reflect Adam’s glory are specifically related to her as his counterpart and mate. Honoring her ‘mateness’ in whatever way her society deems appropriate is honoring him, herself, her marriage, and her Creator. So wear the veil. Or, man reflects the glory of God in a way woman does not, because he is in the position of authority and rule.
- 1 Corinthians 11:9 That is, as his counterpart, as a mate suitable to him and completing the pair, Gen 2:18-24.
