Moulton & Milligan — Vocabulary of the Greek NT
ὑποτάσσω. With Jas 47 ὑποτάγητε οὖν τῷ θεῴ, ‘submit yourselves therefore to God,”’ Hort (Comm. ad /.) compares, in addition to various passages from the LXX, the use of the verb in Epict. iii, 24. 65 ὡς τοῦ Διὸς διάκονον ἔδει, ἅμα μὲν κηδόμενος, ἅμα δ᾽ ὡς τῷ θεῷ ὑποτεταγμένος, and iv. 12 ΤΙ ἐγὼ δ᾽ ἔχω τίνι με δεῖ ἀρέσκειν, τίνι ὑποτετάχθαι, τίνι πείθεσθαι, τῷ θεῷ καὶ τοῖς μετ᾽ ἐκεῖνον. He further notes that ‘*human submission to God” is spoken of only here and Heb 129 in the NT. Note also such passages as P Leid Wxili. $4 (ii/iii A.D.) (= II. p. 127) πάντα ὑποτέτακταί σον (1. σοι), and from the inscrr. OG/S 654? (i/B.c.) σύμπασαν τὴ[ν] Θηβαΐδα μὴ ὑποταγεῖσαν τοῖς βασιλεῦσιίν, ὑποτάξας. The verb is very common in the papyri in the sense of ‘“‘append” to a document, e.g. P Oxy I. 34 versol¥-7 (A.D. 127) αὐτὸ τὸ πρόγραμμα ἐκγραψάμενος ὑπέταξα τῇ [ἐ]πιστολῇ, “1 have copied out the proclamation and append it to this letter,” P Ryl II. 1047 (A.p. 167) ὑπέταξα τὰ ἀμφοτέρων ἡμῶν δίκαια, “1 append the claims of both of us,” and P Oxy 1. 679 (A.D. 338) ὥς ye τὰ ὑποτεταγμένα διαβεβεοῦται, “" 45 at least the appended document testifies.” See also Laqueur Quaestzones, pp. 7, 24f. For the ‘‘ingressive” fut. ὑποταγήσεται in 1 Cor 1558, see Proleg. p. 149, and for the “reflexive” ὑποτάσσεσθε in Col 338, see 26. p. 163.
