Ephesians 5:21

Submitting - one to another - Let no man be so tenacious of his own will or his opinion in matters indifferent, as to disturb the peace of the Church; in all such matters give way to each other, and let love rule.

In the fear of God - Setting him always before your eyes, and considering that he has commanded you to love one another, and to bear each other' s burdens; and that what you do in this or any other commanded case, you do as unto the Lord. Instead of ͅ , in the fear of God, , in the fear of Christ, is the reading of ABDEFG, with all others of most value; besides the Syriac, Coptic, Sahidic, Ethiopic, Armenian, Vulgate, and Itala; Basil the Great, and Chrysostom. Neither reading makes any difference in the sense.
