Rom 10:17 however is in a middle voice (”Let every soul be subject..”)

Perhaps you mean Romans 13:1. I would have to ask where you got the information that this was in the middle voice, since the Greek online Bible parses it as a passive voice.

I don’t know what you are referring to either when you say that the instruction to wives is in the middle voice. The middle and passive are the same in many tenses so I don’t see how these two can be differentiated.

In the Greek online Bible, all uses of hupotasso in reference to wives are identified as being in the passive voice. There is no way to tell which voice is used, so I don’t see any point at all in using this in an discussion.
