Context of 1 Corinthians 11:12
10That is why a woman should cover her head. It shows that she has authority on her head. That makes the angels happy. 11But remember this: we all belong to the Lord. Men and women need to help one another. They can not remain separate. It is true that God used part of the man to make the first woman. But it is also true that women give birth to men. Remember that all things come from God himself. 13Think about this: If a woman prays to God but she has not covered her head, is that proper? 14If a man has long hair, that should make him ashamed. That is clear.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 12For as the woman is of the man - For as the woman was first formed out of the side of man, man has ever since been formed out of the womb of the woman; but they, as all other created things, are of God.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12As the woman is of the man - In the original creation, she was formed from the man. So is the man also by the woman - Is born of the woman, or descended from her. The sexes are dependent on each other, and should therefore cultivate an indissoluble union. But all things of God - All things were created and arranged by him.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 2-16Verses 2-16 Here begin particulars respecting the public assemblies, ch. 1Co 14. In the abundance of spiritual gifts bestowed on the Corinthians, some abuses had crept in; but as Christ did the will, and sought the honour of God, so the Christian should avow his subjection to Christ, doing his will and seeking his glory. We should, even in our dress and habit, avoid every thing that may dishonour Christ. The woman was made subject to man, because made for…Read the comment

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1212. As the woman was formed out of (from) the man, even so is man born by means of woman; but all things (including both man and woman) are from God as their source (Ro 11:36; 2Co 5:18). They depend mutually each on the other, and both on him.Read the comment
