1 Corinthians 11:9 in Context — 1 Corinthians 11

7 L’homme ne doit pas se couvrir la tête, puisqu’il est l’image et la gloire de Dieu, tandis que la femme est la gloire de l’homme.

8 En effet, l’homme n’a pas été tiré de la femme, mais la femme a été tirée de l’homme;

9 et l’homme n’a pas été créé à cause de la femme, mais la femme a été créée à cause de l’homme.

10 C’est pourquoi la femme, à cause des anges, doit avoir sur la tête une marque de l’autorité dont elle dépend.

11 Toutefois, dans le Seigneur, la femme n’est point sans l’homme, ni l’homme sans la femme.
