What are some Bible verses about submission?

Answer  
  

Hebrews 13:17  

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.  
  

James 4:7  

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  
  

1 Peter 5:5  

Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”  
  

Luke 22:42  

Saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”  
  

1 Peter 5:6  

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,  
  

1 Corinthians 14:34  

The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.  
  

Romans 8:7  

For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot.  
  

1 Peter 3:5\-6  

For this is how the holy women who hoped in God used to adorn themselves, by submitting to their own husbands, as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord. And you are her children, if you do good and do not fear anything that is frightening.  
  

Ephesians 5:21\-33  

Submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,  
  

Colossians 3:18  

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.  
  

1 Peter 2:13\-14  

Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good.  
  

Romans 13:1\-7  

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer. Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God’s wrath but also for the sake of conscience.  
  

1 Peter 3:1  

Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the word, they may be won without a word by the conduct of their wives,  
  

Matthew 26:39  

And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”  
  

1 Peter 5:3  

Not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock.  
  

Colossians 3:22\-24  

Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye\-service, as people\-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.  
  

Romans 7:4  

Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.
