9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.

1 Corintios 11:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Corinthians 11:9

Neither was the man created for the woman
To be subservient to her; for she was not in being when he was created; and though it is the proper business of man to provide for, take care of, and defend the woman, as the weaker vessel, yet these were not the original ends of his creation; he was made for God, for his service and glory:

but the woman for the man;
to be an help meet for him, who was already created; to be a companion and associate of his, both in religious worship and in civil life; and for the procreation and education of children.

1 Corintios 11:9 In-Context

7 Porque el varón no ha de cubrir la cabeza, porque es imagen y gloria de Dios: mas la mujer es gloria del varón.
8 Porque el varón no es de la mujer, sino la mujer del varón.
9 Porque tampoco el varón fué criado por causa de la mujer, sino la mujer por causa del varón.
10 Por lo cual, la mujer debe tener señal de potestad sobre su cabeza, por causa de los ángeles.
11 Mas ni el varón sin la mujer, ni la mujer sin el varón, en el Señor.
