Facts about Submission

God has put everything under the feet of Jesus

1 Corinthians 15:27 

For he “has put everything under his feet.” Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.

God has not subjected the world to come under the angels

Hebrews 2:5 

It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are speaking.
Jesus himself will be made to God who put everything under him

1 Corinthians 15:28 

When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him, so that God may be all in all.

Though Jesus was the Son of God, yet he was obedient to his parents

Luke 2:51 

Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.

When Paul realized his unsubmissive spirit, he repented immediately

Acts 23:4-5 

4 Those who were standing near Paul said, “You dare to insult God's high priest?”

5 Paul replied, “Brothers, I did not realize that he was the high priest; for it is written: ‘Do not speak evil about the ruler of your people.’”

Paul urges to submit and to work and labor

1 Corinthians 16:16 

To submit to such as these and to everyone who joins in the work, and labors at it.

We should submit to every authority for the sake of the Lord

1 Peter 2:13 

Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority,

The older women ought to train the younger women to subject to their husbands

Titus 2:5 

To be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God.

An overseer manages his own family well and sees that his children obey him

1 Timothy 3:4 

He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.
Submission must be maintained, so that God’s name and his teaching may not be slandered

1 Timothy 6:1 

All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider their masters worthy of full respect, so that God's name and our teaching may not be slandered.
