1 Corinthians 15:28

1 CORINTHIANS—NOTE ON 1 Corinthians 15:28 the Son... will also be subjected. Jesus is one with God the Father and equal to the Father in deity (1 Corinthians 8:6; John 10:30; John 14:9; Hebrews 1:8). Yet he also submits to God the Father (Mark 14:36; John 5:19, John 5:26, John 5:30; John 17:4). God will be all in all, in the sense that God’s supreme authority over everything will be eternally established, never to be challenged again.
