| We see the word "[[submit]]" at least 7 times in the New Testament. The Greek word “hupotasso”<Ref>{{5293}}</Ref> translated "submit" actually appears 40 times but is seldom translated "submit".

It does not mean that we give others the right to ''"rule over"'' us as an [[exercise authority|exercising authority]] as some suggest in [[Hebrews 13]].

|
| The word submit in this same verse is ὑπείκω hupeiko <Ref>{{5226}}</Ref> a verb appearing only once. It means to resist no longer or yield and is from the Greek preposition ''hupo''.

| Libellus responsionum<Ref>The Libellus responsionum (Latin for "little book of answers") is a papal letter (also known as a papal rescript or decretal) written in 601 by Pope Gregory I to [[Augustine of Canterbury]] in response to several of Augustine's questions regarding the nascent church in Anglo-Saxon England.</Ref> shows that there was more conflict between Augustine and the native Christians than there was concern about paganism.
