“No one is suggesting that we should all be running around doing nothing but blindly washing one anothers feet whether they have dirty feet or not. True submission, as Paul describes, is doing (or not doing) what is in the best interest of the other. This means it cannot be identical for everyone – but Paul calls for it to be reciprocal.”
