What does the Bible say about submission in relationships?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches us to submit to one another in the fear of God, as seen in Ephesians 5:21.

Ephesians 5:21 commands believers to submit to one another in the fear of God. This submission is fundamental to the relationships ordained by God, whether between husbands and wives, parents and children, or even employees and employers. Each relationship has a specific dynamic that reflects the authority of Christ, ensuring that submission is exercised in love, humility, and reverence for God. This means that even if those in authority over us may err, our allegiance ultimately belongs to God, and our submission must reflect that understanding.
