hypotassomenai

submitting (yourselves)

Summary

ὑποτασσόμεναι is the present middle participle of hypotassō, where the middle voice denotes voluntary, self-directed alignment rather than coerced subordination. In 1 Peter 3:1, wives submit as a missional strategy to win non-believing spouses — not as an expression of permanent hierarchy.
