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

• A. 1 Timothy 2:13
• B. Genesis 3:16
• C. 1 Corinthians 11:8
• D. Proverbs 18:22

Answer: (C)

The line is found in 1 Corinthians 11:8. In this part of Paul’s letter, he chats about how men and women participate in worship and grounds his point in the order of creation—man created first, and woman came from man. That exact wording is how the verse appears in many translations, especially the King James Version.

So, this verse is the best fit because it directly presents that creation-order claim in the context of discussing gender roles in worship. The other passages discuss related ideas—Genesis 3:16 talks about consequences after the fall, 1 Timothy 2:13 also notes creation order in a guidance about prayer, and Proverbs 18:22 speaks about finding a good wife—but they do not contain this specific phrasing about man not being of the woman and the woman being of the man.
