Submission

"Therefore submit to God..." (James 4:7; NKJV)

The Greek word for "submission" is primarily a military term that means "to rank under." It is a compound word from hupo, "under," and tasso, "to arrange." It denotes to put in subjection, to subject, and in the middle or passive voice, it means to subject oneself, to obey, be subject to (Vine’s Expository Dictionary of NT Words).

Our Father, our elder brother, and the Holy Spirit are worthy of our submission.
