Who Should Submit to Whom?

Children to their parents

Ephesians 6:1 

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Wives to their husbands

Ephesians 5:22 

Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

The church to Christ

Ephesians 5:24 

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

Servants to their masters

1 Peter 2:18 

Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

Believers to their leaders

Hebrews 13:17 

Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.

Everyone to their authorities

Romans 13:1 

Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.

All to God

James 4:7 

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
