for as we have born the image of the terrestrial, so we shall bear the image of the celestial.

Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

What say I then? That the image is anything? Or that it which is offered to images is anything?

So, then, as to the question of taking food offered to images, we are certain that an image is nothing in the world, and that there is no God but one.

For if a man sees you, who have knowledge, taking food as a guest in the house of an image, will it not give him, if he is feeble, the idea that he may take food offered to images?

For a man ought not to wear anything on his head, because he is the image and reflected glory of God, but woman is man's reflected glory.

Now we see only an indistinct image in a mirror, but then we will be face to face. Now what I know is incomplete, but then I will know fully, even as I have been fully known.
