On the surface, mutual submission seems logical and fair. After all, no one can be right all the time. Proponents of this approach point to Ephesians 5: “And do not be drunk with wine … but be filled with the Spirit … giving thanks always for all things … submitting to one another in the fear of God” (vv. 18-21). But this passage is the conclusion of nearly five chapters of counsel to the body of Christ at Ephesus, wherein Paul is laying out what it means to be a Christian and how we should relate to each other in the church.
