☀️ [Continuing, addressing questions the Corinthian believers had sent in a letter] 1 - Be imitators of me [Paul], as I am of Christ. 2 I’m happy that you’ve been keeping the instructions and traditions as I handed them on to you.

3 Custom tells us the head of a wife is her husband, the head of every man is Christ, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, 5 but every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it’s the same as if her head were shaved. 6 Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair! But since it’s shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear a covering. 7 A man should not wear anything on his head when worshiping, for man is made in God’s image and reflects God’s glory. And woman reflects man’s glory. 8 For man is not of woman, but woman of man. 9 And also was a man not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. {Protection?} [Exousia - authority, power, right, jurisdiction, from exesti - what is allowed or permissible under the law or custom.] {Paul also wrote “..there is neither Jew nor Greek.. male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” - Gal.3:28. Genesis 5:2 - “God created them male and female, and named them Adam [adam - man, mankind]”.}

Tomorrows verses - 1 Corinthians 11:11-16

Genesis Chapter Two

Why is there a second account of the creation of man?

Man is made of the soil of Eden?

Acts 17:26, The Living Bible - "He created all the people of the world from one man, Adam, and scattered the nations across the face of the earth.."

Genesis 3:20 - "The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living."

An inheritance from one man - "Romans 5:12 - "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men.."

The second account is an insert and addendum to the first.
The first says man was created. The second tells us how.

The first account's setting is the world and universe. The second account is how the creation of man and woman occurred in the section of the world designated as the Garden of Eden.

"Then God said, `Let us make man in our image.. ...So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female created He them." (Genesis 1:26,27) with "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female." (Matthew 19:4) -- Which is what is described in the insert/second account.
