Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

5.21 Subjecti invicem. Non solum auditores prælatis, sed etiam prælati subditis, in charitate eis serviendo et humiliter curam gerendo. Nam etsi dignitas majorum est, administratoria tamen est; unde Apostolus: Omnium me servum feci I Cor. 9.. Est ergo majorum (salva tamen dignitate) servire, sicut minorum est humiliter obedire; hæc autem tam majorum quam minorum ordinata subjectio, debet esse in casto timore Christi, qui humilitatem mandavit.

5:21 χριστου ¦ θεου 𝔐pt HF PCK TR
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὑποτασσόμενοι ἀλλήλοις
˓being˒_subjected ˱to˲_one_another
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]
