1 Corinthians 11:9

9 Nether was the man created for ye womas sake: but the woma for the mannes sake

1 Corinthians 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 Corinthians 11:9 In-Context

7 A man ought not to cover his heed for as moche as he is the image and glory of God. The woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman but the woman of the ma.
9 Nether was the man created for ye womas sake: but the woma for the mannes sake
10 For this cause ought the woma to have power on her heed for the angels sakes.
11 Neverthelesse nether is the ma with oute the woma nether the woma with out the man in the lorde.
