Who Do You Hear Under?

Romans 16:19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil.

English “obedience” emboldened in Romans 16:19 was translated from Greek feminine noun 5218 hupakoe from a compound of Greek preposition 5259 hupo meaning under in the genitive case as grammatical objects are under their grammatical subject and Greek verb 191 akouo meaning to hear. In the context of Romans 16:19 Greek feminine noun 5218 hupakoe  is the hearing under God as the grammatical object of God as one’s only spiritual grammatical subject.
