Paul assumes that his readers will understand that he is continuing to explain what it means to “be filled with the Spirit” ([Ephesians 5:18](../05/18.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Here Paul says that Christians are to submit themselves to one another. Alternate translation: [yielding to fellow believers]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
αἱ γυναῖκες τοῖς ἰδίοις ἀνδράσιν ὡς τῷ Κυρίῳ,
(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις ἐν φόβῳ Χριστοῦ)
Paul is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [wives, subuitting yourselves to your own husbands, just as you submit yourselves to the Lord]
5:21–6:9 Paul gives specific instructions on how believers are to relate to one another in a Christian home (see also Col 3:18–4:1; 1 Pet 2:18–3:7). Love and respect are to characterize all relationships in the body of Christ as an expression of believers’ commitment to the Lord himself.
5:21 And further, submit to one another: The verb form links it with the command to be filled (5:18). This general instruction (cp. Phil 2:3) applies to all three relationships that Paul discusses: wives and husbands (Eph 5:22-33), children and their parents (6:1-4), and slaves and their masters (6:5-9). For believers, submission is not expressed out of fear or desire for personal gain, but out of reverence for Christ.
OET (OET-RV) And show your honour of the messiah by placing yourselves under each other’s authority.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
