Paul uses hypotasso for bond servants and rulers with clear obedience meaning

Have We Misunderstood "Wives Submit"? Women in Ministry part 9 02:26:01 – 02:27:32

Mike shows Paul's consistent usage of the word submit across contexts.

In Titus 2:9, Paul tells bond servants to 'be submissive' (hypotasso) -- clearly meaning do what your master says, not just 'respect.' In Titus 3:1, 'remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient' -- here Paul even describes submission as including obedience. If Paul uses submit consistently elsewhere to mean obedience within reason, he must mean the same in Ephesians 5.
