Context
“for man is the beginning and end of woman; as God is the beginning and end of every creature. So when the Apostle had said that "man is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man," he adds his reason for saying this: "For man is not of woman, but woman of man; and man was not created for woman, but woman for man."
Reply Obj. 2 and 3: These reasons refer to the image consisting in the conformity of grace and glory. _______________________
