A few hypotasso verses with “align with” instead of “submit”

Romans 8:7 “because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not align itself with the law of God”

Romans 10:3 “For not knowing about God’s righteousness and seeking to establish their own, they did not align themselves with the righteousness of God.”

Romans 13:1 “Every person is to be aligned with the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.”

James 4:7 “Align therefore with God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you”

It obviously doesn’t work with every verse. The point is that it does work some of the time, even with verses almost always associated with authority. That indicates that hypotasso may have a broader range of meaning than we have been led to believe. Ephesians 5:21 almost certainly assures it.
