Two principles in verses 8-9: who came from who (order) and who was made for who (purpose)

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 00:26:33 – 00:28:05

Mike distinguishes two separate arguments Paul derives from Genesis 2.

Verse 8 is about primogeniture/order: woman originated from man, not vice versa. This is Paul's Spirit-inspired interpretation of Genesis 2. Verse 9 is about purpose: man was not created for woman's sake but woman for man's sake, derived from Genesis 2:18 ('I will make a helper suitable for him'). Mike challenges egalitarians who rarely reference 1 Corinthians 11 when interpreting Genesis.
