1 Corinthians 15:27-29
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
27 “For God[a] has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “All things are put in subjection under him,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may be everything to every one.
29 Otherwise, what do people mean by being baptized on behalf of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized on their behalf?[b]

1 Corinthians 15:27-29
New International Version
27 For he “has put everything under his feet.”[a](A) Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this does not include God himself, who put everything under Christ.(B) 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will be made subject to him who put everything under him,(C) so that God may be all in all.(D)
29 Now if there is no resurrection, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?
