1 Corinthians 11:9

“for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.”

Verse in context — 1 Corinthians 11

For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of the man.

For man is not from woman, but woman from man;

for neither was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.

For this cause the woman ought to have authority on her head, because of the angels.

Nevertheless, neither is the woman independent of the man, nor the man independent of the woman, in the Lord.
