1 Corinthians 15:27-29
King James Version
27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? why are they then baptized for the dead?

1 Corinthians 15:27-29
New American Standard Bible
27 For (A)He has put all things in subjection under His feet. But when He says, “(B)All things are put in subjection,” it is clear that [a]this excludes the Father who put all things in subjection to Him. 28 When (C)all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that (D)God may be all in all.
29 For otherwise, what will those do who are baptized [b]for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized [c]for them?
