Submit
We see the word "submit" at least 7 times in the New Testament. The Greek word “hupotasso”[1] translated "submit" actually appears 40 times but is seldom translated "submit".
The Greek word “hupotasso” means “to arrange” yourself according to your own conscience, to voluntary cooperate. We see “hupotasso” used in 1 Peter 2:13 and Titus 3:1. It does not mean that we give others the right to "rule over" us as an exercising authority as some suggest in Hebrews 13.
- "Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you." Hebrews 13:17
The word "obey" in this verse is commonly translated persuade and trust[2] which is translated trust in the very next verse... and again rule over means those that account for you in the kingdom not rule over as in exercise authority.
The word submit in this same verse is ὑπείκω hupeiko [3] a verb appearing only once. It means to resist no longer or yield and is from the Greek preposition hupo.
Pope Gregory had decreed that these Christians should submit to Augustine of Canterburyand that their bishops should obey him.[4] They not only viewed Augustine with suspicion but saw this in direct conflict with Christ's commands and policies.[5]
Libellus responsionum[6] shows that there was more conflict between Augustine and the native Christians than there was concern about paganism. They were not just a different style of Christianity. There were critical fundamental differences.
Many of these ideas and teachings come down from the Church established by Constantine.
