NASB | 1 Corinthians 15:27 For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, "All things are put in subjection," it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 15:27 For HE (the Father) HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS (Christ's) FEET. But when He says, "All things have been put in subjection [under Christ]," it is clear that He (the Father) who put all things in subjection to Him (Christ) is excepted [since the Father is not in subjection to His own Son]. [Ps 8:6] |
Subject: What's Jesus' position? |
Bible Note: Hi Stokey, You believe that Jesus and the Father are "one". Are you speaking of one God or one god? For you see, I capitalized the "One" showing His Deity thereby. For 1 Corinthians 11:3 I too see that God is the head of Christ because the passage is talking about the order of authority that needs to be present. But I also see the Headship of Christ here. The Jehovah's Witnesses do not acknowledge the Deity of Christ as for instance you render John 1:1, as "and the Word was a god." I believe that capitalization is a matter of interpretation. I will go with "and the Word was God." For 1 Corinthians 11:3,4 here is my rendering as interpretation using capitalization, for what it is worth. "But I want you to understand that Christ is the Head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his Head." For 1 Corinthians 15:27 "it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to (Him). And when all things are subjected to Him then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him..." The bottom line is "that God/ may be all in all." Notice the capitalization of the Son Himself. I recommend the NKJ and the NASB for you to better understand the interpretation that is naturally established in the Scriptures. The NKJ does not have "Jehovah" in it. However, remember that not everyone who says, "Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. The names of the Lord are many. For instance, Lord God, Lord Jesus, Lord Christ. Paul, in Colossians 3:24 says that it is the Lord Christ/ whom you serve. Even your NWT adds, "Slave for the Master, Christ". I say again, may God be all in all. Jesus made His authority and His name known. From the heart, Ray |
