1 Corinthians 11:9-11
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
9 For indeed man was not created for the sake of the woman, but woman for the sake[a] of the man. 10 For this reason, the woman ought to be having authority[b] on her head because of the angels[c]. 11 Nevertheless[d] there is neither woman without man, nor man without woman in the Lord.

- 1 Corinthians 11:11 The creation of woman from man and for man is the order of the first creation, but not the new creation ‘in the Lord’. At present we all live in both spheres. Balancing freedom ‘in the Lord’ with what was ‘fitting’ (v 13) in their culture so as not to bring unnecessary shame on Christ is Paul’s goal in this discussion.
