Ephesians 5:21
Subjecting yourselves to one another (upotassomenoi allhloiv). Present middle participle of upotassw, old military figure to line up under (Colossians 3:18). The construction here is rather loose, coordinate with the preceding participles of praise and prayer. It is possible to start a new paragraph here and regard upotassomenoi as an independent participle like an imperative.
