Ambrosiaster : Paul adds that all things are from God so that the woman will not be upset because of her dependent condition nor will the man be proud of his responsible position. — COMMENTARY ON PAUL'S EPISTLES Augustine of Hippo : Concerning the male and female sexes, what has the son of perdition to say? That the two sexes are not from God but from the devil? What has the vessel of election to say about this? "For as the woman is from the man, so also is the man through the woman— but all things are from God." What does the devil say through the mouths of the Manichaeans about the flesh? That it is an evil substance, a creature not of God but of the enemy.
