1 Corinthians 11:8-12

8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man;

9neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

10It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels.

11Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman.

12For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God.
