OET (OET-LV) For/Because also not was_created man because_of the woman, but woman because_of the man.

OET (OET-RV) Indeed, men weren’t created for women, but women for men.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:2–16: Men and women should dress appropriately to worship God

In this section Paul wrote about how men and women should dress during public worship. He wanted the women to cover their heads and the men to remain bare-headed. This was appropriate and proper and the custom of the other churches.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Wear appropriate clothing in public worship

Covering the head in worship

Paragraph 11:7–12

Paul taught that men are the glory of God, and women are the glory of men. But men and women are dependent on each other.

11:9

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

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man: This phrase continues Paul’s explanation of how a woman is “the glory of man.” God made Eve, the woman, for the sake of Adam, the man, so that the man would not be alone.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

God did not create the man to be the woman’s companion, but he created the woman to be the man’s companion

it was not the man who was made to help woman, but the woman who was made to help man

Neither: The Greek words that the BSB translates as Neither show that this is an additional point in Paul’s argument.

Here is another way to translate this conjunction:

and also…not

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

καὶ γὰρ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνήρ διά τήν γυναῖκα ἀλλά γυνή διά τόν ἄνδρα)

Here, For indeed introduces a second basis for what Paul has claimed in [11:7](../11/07.md), most specifically for the claim that “woman is the glory of man.” In [11:10](../11/10.md). However, Paul gives the result of what he has claimed in [11:7](../11/07.md) in [11:10](../11/10.md). Because of this, in some languages [11:7–8](../11/07.md) might seem like they interrupt the logic or argument. If that is true in your language, you could mark [11:7–8](../11/07.md) as an interruption by using parentheses or some other natural form in your language. Alternate translation: [As another side note,] or [Also by the way,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνὴρ διὰ τὴν γυναῖκα, ἀλλὰ γυνὴ διὰ τὸν ἄνδρα

not ˓was˒_created (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνήρ διά τήν γυναῖκα ἀλλά γυνή διά τόν ἄνδρα)

Again, Paul is speaking about a man and a woman. Just as in [11:8](../11/08.md), these words could refer to: (1) the first man and woman that God created: Adam and Eve. In the story in [Genesis 2:18–25](../../gen/02/18.md), God has already made Adam. God then has Adam name all the animals, but there was no “helper” for Adam. God then makes Eve as a “helper” for Adam. Alternate translation: [the first man was not created for the first woman, but the first woman was created for the first man]; (2) “men” and “women” in general. In this case, Paul would be referring to the relationship between males and females in general or to the specific relationship between husbands and wives. Alternate translation: [men were not created for women, but women for men] or [husbands were not created for wives, but wives for husbands]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνὴρ

not ˓was˒_created (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνήρ διά τήν γυναῖκα ἀλλά γυνή διά τόν ἄνδρα)

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Paul uses the passive form here to focus on man, who is created, rather than focusing on the person doing the “creating.” If you must state who does the action, Paul implies that “God” does it. Alternate translation: [God did not create man]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

γυνὴ διὰ τὸν ἄνδρα

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καί Γάρ οὐκ ἐκτίσθη ἀνήρ διά τήν γυναῖκα ἀλλά γυνή διά τόν ἄνδρα)

Here Paul omits some words that your language may require to make a complete thought. Paul omits these words because he stated them explicitly in the previous clause (was created). If your language does need these words, you could supply them from that clause. Alternate translation: [woman was created for the man]
