1 Corinthians 11:9

New International Version

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

See the chapter Copy

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”

So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.

Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.

It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.
