Hupotage denotes submission expressed in learning, household order, giving, and refusal to yield.

The attested use concerns submission within stated relationships or actions: a woman learning quietly, children under household management, confession toward the gospel, and a refusal to yield to others.

Senses in use

  1. Submission in conduct and stated relations · dominant

    The dative singular feminine form occurs in instructions or descriptions of conduct. In 1 Timothy 2:11 the APB renders a woman learning quietly “with all submission,” and in 1 Timothy 3:4 it describes children “in submission” under household management; 2 Corinthians 9:13 places it with confession toward the gospel, while Galatians 2:5 presents a refusal to yield “in submission.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses “submission” in all four verses, though it frames the phrase differently: “with,” “in,” “upon,” and in a statement of not yielding. These phrasings show the clauses' presentation rather than separate lexical meanings.
