1 Corinthians 15:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 (A)For he hath put down all things under his feet. (And when he saith that all things are subdued to him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put down all things under him.)
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, [a]then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him, that did subdue all things under him, that [b]God may be all in all.
29 [c]Else what shall they do which are baptized [d]for dead? if the dead rise not at all, why are they then baptized for dead?

- 1 Corinthians 15:28 Not because the Son was not subject to his Father before, but because his body, that is to say, the Church which is here in distress, and not yet wholly partaker of his glory, is not yet fully perfect, and also because the bodies of the saints which be in the graves shall not be glorified until the resurrection: but Christ as he is God, hath us subject to him as his Father hath, but as he is Priest, he is subject to his father together with us. Augustine, book 1, chap. 8, of the Trinity.
