Contextual Overview
1Become followers of me, as I also [am] of Christ. 2And I praise you, brothers, that in all things you remember me, and according as I delivered to you, you keep the deliverances, 3and I wish you to know that the Christ is the head of every man, and the head of a woman is the husband, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man praying or prophesying, having the head covered, dishonors his head, 5and every woman praying or prophesying with the head uncovered, dishonors her own head, for it is one and the same thing with her being shaven, 6for if a woman is not covered—then let her be shorn, and if [it is] a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven—let her be covered; 7for a man, indeed, ought not to cover the head, being the image and glory of God, and a woman is the glory of a man, 8for a man is not of a woman, but a woman [is] of a man, 9for also was a man not created because of the woman, but a woman because of the man;10because of this the woman ought to have [a token of] authority on the head, because of the messengers;

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Neither was the man created for the woman,.... To be subservient to her; for she was not in being when he was created; and though it is the proper business of man to provide for, take care of, and defend the woman, as the weaker vessel, yet these were not the original ends of his creation; he was made for God, for his service and glory:
but the woman for the man; to be an help meet for him, who was already created; to be a companion and associate of his, both in religious worship and in civil life; and for the procreation and education of children.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Neither was the man created for the woman ... - This is a simple statement of what is expressed in Genesis. The woman was made for the comfort and happiness of the man. Not to be a slave, but a help-meet; not to be the minister of his pleasures, but to be his aid and comforter in life; not to be regarded as of inferior nature and rank, but to be his friend, to divide his sorrows, and to multiply and extend his joys; yet still to be in a station subordinate to him. He is to be the head: the ruler; the presider in the family circle; and she was created to aid him in his duties, to comfort him in his afflictions, to partake with him of his pleasures. Her rank is therefore honorable, though it is subordinate. It is, in some respects, the more honorable because it is subordinate and as her happiness is dependent on him, she has the higher claim to his protection and his tender care. The whole of Paulâs idea here is, that her situation and rank as subordinate should be recognized by her at all times, and that in his presence it was proper that she should wear the usual symbol of modesty and subordination, the veil.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Corinthians 11:9. Neither was the man created, c.] και Î³Î±Ï Î¿Ï Îº εκÏιÏθη. for the man was not created upon the woman's account. The reason is plain from what is mentioned above and from the original creation of woman she was made for the man, to be his proper or suitable helper.
