I was studying Ephesians 5:21 and doing a word study on "submit" (Ὑποτασσόμενοι). (OK, I don't want to start a theological debate here: which is painful in itself. I just want to focus on the Greek grammar.)
The word is tagged as a passive voice verb on Logos Greek Morphology. When I looked at various commentaries, they all agree it is a middle voice verb. When I looked at my Greek grammar, they also say you cannot tell whether a verb is passive or middle voice based on its spelling and you need to look at the context.
My question: is there any other Greek morphology I can use? How reliable is Logos Greek morphology in other instances? Any other similar issues in other passages?
Having been a Logos user for a while I also have the Gramcord morphology for NA27. It also lists the term as Passive.
It is a bit dated, but you may want to look at http://www.logos.com/products/info/morphologies

I just followed you link and realized Logos stopped selling Stuttgart Electronic Study Bible. I understood that was an important resource for textual studies. But now it is no more...

Paul, don't treat this as a verb, treat it has a participle because that is what it is. It is a present passive participle masculine nominative plural. I would translate this as "we are being subject."

Welcome
"Analytical Greek New Testament: Greek Text Analysis." has Friberg Greek Morphology, which also has passive tagging. "The Swanson New Testament Greek Morphology: United Bible Societies' Fourth Edition. 4th ed." has Swanson Greek Morphology, which has two tags: passive and deponent.

Just one MORE nice feature of Libronix: on the mouseover, it showed what morphology system was being used. And in the Robinson, it carefully explained the morph codes (not converted).
