Keener on verse 9: translates 'for' as 'through,' making it reiterate verse 8

All The Head Covering Debates (1 Cor 11): Women in Ministry part 10 03:34:10 – 03:37:13

Mike examines and refutes Keener's translation choice.

Keener's paraphrase: 'man was not created through woman but woman through man.' Mike checked 37 English translations -- NONE translate it as 'through.' All use a purpose statement ('for the sake of' or 'for'). Keener absorbs verse 9 into verse 8, eliminating the purpose argument entirely. This translation stands alone against all other scholarship.
