How would you translate a word like [hypotasso](https://www.blueletterbible.org/lexicon/g5293/kjv/tr/0-1/) in Ephesians 5:22?
That and several others are commented on in this article:

"Align with" would probably be my first choice; "submission" is not totally terrible, as long as it's mutual and absolutely not conflated or confused with "obey."
Got it. I am of a different flavor. "Submission begins where agreement ends," in which case, it's no different than obedience. 🤙🏼
I pray that you are prepared to disobey or even depart, should that become necessary? (Acts 5:29)
That should be obvious...but yes: "God alone is Lord of the conscience." That doesn't mean he hasn't set up a true government for his church--albeit with a "declarative and ministerial" power only. The keys of the kingdom are real.
