The two are inseparable.

Newton's Third relates [action] = [- reaction]. Bernoulli's effect changes the direction of flow around the airfoil, so that it is deflected (in the case of a wing) downward. This action is reacted by the upward force (lift). One cannot have one without the other.

For a propeller, rotate the above image 90°.
