The Dreaded "S-Word..."

1Co 16:15 But I exhort you, brothers. You know the house of Stephanas, they were the first believers of Achaia, and they devoted themselves to the ministry of the saints.
1Co 16:16 See that you also may submit to such ones, and to everyone working and laboring with me.

Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to our Master,

Eph 5:23 because a husband is head of the wife, as also Messiah is Head of the Congregation, and He is the Savior of the body.
Eph 5:24 But even as the Congregation is subject to Messiah, so also the wives to their own husbands in everything.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Messiah also loved the Congregation and gave Himself up on its behalf,
Eph 5:26 that He might sanctify it, cleansing it by the washing of water and by the Word,
Eph 5:27 that He might present it to Himself as the glorious Congregation, not having stain or wrinkle, or any such things, but that it be holy and without blemish.
Eph 5:28 So, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies, (he loving his wife loves himself),
Eph 5:29 for then no one hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even also as our Master does to the Congregation.
Eph 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones.
Eph 5:31 "For this, a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife, and the two shall be one (echad) flesh." (Gen. 2:24)
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery, but I speak as to Messiah and His Congregation.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless, let everyone of you so love his wife as himself, and the wife, that she give reverence to the husband.

Heb 13:17 Listen to your spiritual leaders, and submit to them, for they watch for your souls, giving an account, that they may do this with joy, and not with grieving; for this would be unprofitable to you.

Jas 4:1 From where come conflicts and fightings from among you? Is it not from your lusts warring in your members?

Jas 4:2 You covet and yet you do not have. You murder, and are jealous, and are not able to possess. You fight and you strive, and you have nothing, because you do not ask.
Jas 4:3 You ask, and do not receive, because you do not ask sincerely, you ask in order that you may satisfy your lusts.
Jas 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that the friendship of the world is enmity with YAHWEH? Whoever, then, purposes to be a friend of the world is an enemy to YAHWEH.
Jas 4:5 Or do you think that vainly the Scripture says, The pride dwelling in us lusts with envy?
Jas 4:6 But He gives greater grace. Because of this it says, "YAHWEH sets Himself against proud ones, but He gives grace to humble ones." (Prov. 3:34)
Jas 4:7 Then submit to YAHWEH. Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Jas 4:8 Draw near to YAHWEH, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners! And purify your hearts, double minded ones!
Jas 4:9 Be distressed, and mourn, and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy into shame.
Jas 4:10 Be humbled before YAHWEH, and He will exalt you.

1Pe 2:13 Then Submit yourselves to all human authority for the sake of the Almighty; whether to a king, because of their supreme power;

1Pe 2:14 and to judges, because by them officers are sent for the punishment of offenders, and for the praise of them that do well.
