262 Craig,

Galatians 2:5 is the noun form of the word for submission. It is found 4 times in the NT in this form: 2 Cor 9:13 where it is translated obedience in that NASB; Gal 2:5; 1 Timothy 2:11 translated as submissiveness; and 1 Timothy 3:4 where it is translated as control. As far as demanding submission, I don’t think the Bible allows Christians to do this. This is why we are told to submit rather than the shepherds told to take control over the flock. One person is never given control over another person, but people can voluntarily give their submission.

Here are the related words per Kittel:
