Keener translates verse 9 as 'through' instead of 'for the sake of,' absorbing it into verse 8

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 01:12:14 – 01:14:19

Mike identifies Keener's handling of the problematic verse 9.

Keener's translation: 'man was not created through woman but woman through man' -- making verse 9 merely reiterate verse 8 (origin/source) rather than adding a separate purpose statement. Mike checked 37 English translations and none translate it this way. All translate it as a purpose statement ('for the sake of' or 'for'). This is a significant departure from all known translations.
