Which verse says, 'For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man'?

• A. Romans 11:6
• B. Proverbs 31:10
• C. 1 Corinthians 11:8
• D. Job 31:1

Answer: (C)

This checks your understanding of where that statement comes from and what it says about creation order. In 1 Corinthians 11:8, Paul says that man did not come from woman, but woman came from man. This highlights the order of creation and is part of his broader discussion on gender roles and practices in worship. The exact wording in the question mirrors older English renderings of that verse, which is why it fits best here. The surrounding context in this chapter is about proper conduct in worship and head coverings, linking creation order to how believers practice together. The other listed verses address different topics—grace versus works, a virtuous wife, and refraining from lust—so they don’t match this particular idea about the origin of woman from man.
