1 Corinthians 11:9 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Neither was the man created, etc. - Και γαρ ουκ εκτισθη· 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.
