Tree of Life Version
1 Corinthians 15:27
27For God has “put all things in subjection underneath His feet.” But when the psalmist says that “all” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include God Himself, who put all things under Messiah.

Context of 1 Corinthians 15:27
25For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. 26The last enemy to be destroyed is death. For God has “put all things in subjection underneath His feet.” But when the psalmist says that “all” has been put in subjection, it is clear that this does not include God Himself, who put all things under Messiah. 28Now when all things become subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also become subject to the One who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all. 29Otherwise, what will they do who are immersed for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they immersed for them?

Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 15:27
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 27For he hath put all things under his feet - The Father hath put all things under the feet of Christ according to the prophecy, Psalm 110:1-7. He is excepted - i.e. The Father, who hath put all things under him, the Son. This observation seems to be introduced by the apostle to show that he does not mean that the Divine nature shall be subjected to the human nature.
