1 Corinthians 11:9

Compare all

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since ^ahe is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.

8 For man is not from woman, but woman ^afrom man.

9 Nor was man created for the woman, but woman ^afor the man.

10 For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.

11 Nevertheless, ^aneither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 11:9

Neither was the man created, etc. - · for the man was not created upon the woman' s account. The reason is plain from what is mentioned above; and from the original creation of woman she was made for the man, to be his proper or suitable helper.
