“Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”
Moreover, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected (entrepō) them; should we not be much more subject to the Father of spirits and live? — earthly fathers' discipline earned respect (entrepō); how much more should we submit (hypotassō) to the Father of spirits, the true parent? Submit means life; rejection means death.
