'Man' in the Bible

For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man that is in him? In the same way, no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

But the unbeliever does not welcome what comes from God’s Spirit, because it is foolishness to him; he is not able to understand it since it is evaluated spiritually.

It is widely reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and the kind of sexual immorality that is not even tolerated among the Gentiles—a man is living with his father’s wife.

Now in response to the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have relations with a woman.”

But because sexual immorality is so common, each man should have his own wife, and each woman should have her own husband.

For he who is called by the Lord as a slave is the Lord’s freedman. Likewise he who is called as a free man is Christ’s slave.

Therefore I consider this to be good because of the present distress: It is fine for a man to remain as he is.

I want you to be without concerns. An unmarried man is concerned about the things of the Lord—how he may please the Lord.

But a married man is concerned about the things of the world—how he may please his wife—

But if any man thinks he is acting improperly toward his virgin, if she is past marriageable age, and so it must be, he can do what he wants. He is not sinning; they can get married.

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of the woman, and God is the head of Christ.

Every man who prays or prophesies with something on his head dishonors his head.

A man, in fact, should not cover his head, because he is God’s image and glory, but woman is man’s glory.

For man did not come from woman, but woman came from man.

And man was not created for woman, but woman for man.

In the Lord, however, woman is not independent of man, and man is not independent of woman.

For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman, and all things come from God.

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a disgrace to him,

So a man should examine himself; in this way he should eat the bread and drink from the cup.

When I was a child,I spoke like a child,I thought like a child,I reasoned like a child.When I became a man,I put aside childish things.

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man.

So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

The first man was from the earthand made of dust;the second man is from heaven.

Like the man made of dust,so are those who are made of dust;like the heavenly man,so are those who are heavenly.

And just as we have bornethe image of the man made of dust,we will also bearthe image of the heavenly man.
