Strong's Lexicon hupotagé: Submission, subjection Original Word: ὑποταγή Word Origin: Derived from the verb ὑποτάσσω (hupotassō), meaning "to arrange under" or "to subject." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent, the concept of submission can be related to Hebrew terms like שָׁמַע (shama, Strong's H8085), meaning "to hear" or "to obey," and כָּנַע (kana, Strong's H3665), meaning "to humble" or "to subdue." Usage: The term "hupotagé" refers to the act or state of being in submission or subjection. It implies a voluntary yielding or arranging oneself under the authority or leadership of another. In the New Testament, it often denotes a spiritual or relational submission, such as the believer's submission to God, or the orderly structure within the church and family. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of submission was integral to societal structures, including family, military, and civic life. The idea of submission was not seen as demeaning but as a necessary component of order and harmony. In the early Christian context, submission was redefined through the lens of Christ's example, emphasizing humility, love, and mutual respect. HELPS Word-studies Cognate: 5292 hypotagḗ – submission.
