No, verse 9 has "for"; "from" (or "of") is in verse 8.

8 ou gar estin aner ek gyneaikos alla gyne ex andros
9 kai gar ouk ektisthe aner dia ten gynaika alla gyne dia ton andra

8 Non enim vir ex muliere est, sed mulier ex viro.
9 Etenim non est creatus vir propter mulierem, sed mulier propter virum.

(1 Corinthians 11)

Woma is for the man because, like Eve, she is from the man. The instruction to husband is to love the wife, sanctify and cleanse her, and sacrifice himself for her, as given in Ephesians 5.

"Woman is for the man because, like Eve, she is from the man. The instruction to husband is to love the wife, sanctify and cleanse her, and sacrifice himself for her, as given in Ephesians 5."

Excellent! Thanks for calling that to my attention, it makes a lot more sense. I tend to read Paul's instruction to wives: "submit to your husbands," as saying, "don't hamstring the guy, you need to be on his side and for him, not against him." I do that because we are elsewhere told to submit to each other, so I don't see St. Paul singling out wives so much as emphasizing a common point of difficulty in many marital relationships. In my opinion, St. Paul is pointing to the difficulties that men and women often have in their relationships as husbands and wives. Husbands are to respect their wives as their own bodies and sacrifice for them: that is, they are not supposed to hate their wives, so we see a condemnation of misogyny. On the other hand, women need to be on their husbands side. At least that's how I usually interpret St. Paul on gender. It's all a development on the theme of "Love one another as I have loved you."

Thank you also for the link, Annalex!
