Hey Mark, where’s the text that puts the actual words “submission” (hypotasso) and “authority” (epitasso) into one verse together? If we want to be consistent, and you so do, where’s the word hypertasso (set above someone). Hypo and hyper are always coupled in Greek, why not in the case of hypotasso? Why do we find that hypotasso is coupled always with antitasso (resist), as seen in
“Be subject (hypotasso) therefore unto God; but resist (antitasso) the devil, and he will flee from you.” (Jas 4.7)

Let every soul be in subjection (hypotasso) to the higher powers: for there is no power but of God; and the powers that be are ordained of God.
Therefore he that resisteth (antitasso) the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (Rom 13.1-2)
