Submission is to yield oneself to the control of another.  Obedience, subjection to God's command or man's commands (masters, husband) is discussed.  We submit to the authority position God gave these people.  He put them over us.  All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

XII) CONCLUSION:  God gives people positions with responsibility and requires the Christian to be submission to that person as onto the Lord.
