Translation Note
The exception is ἐκτὸς τοῦ ὑποτάξαντος αὐτῷ τὰ πάντα, “except the one who subjected all things to him.” The King James reads “he is excepted, which did put all things under him.”
The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.” The one excepted is the Father who subjects all things, not a denial that the Son is God. Verse 28 then says the Son himself will be subjected, that God may be all in all.
King James Version. 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.
New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible), this verse. “For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.” Watchtower Online Library

Open 1 Corinthians 15:27

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.

Translation Note
The Son will be subjected to the one who subjected all things to him, so that God may be all in all. The King James reads “then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” The Textus Receptus adds καί and τά in this passage.
The New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible) reads “the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him.” Subjection here is the Son’s role when the kingdom is handed over. It is the same Son Hebrews 1:8 addresses as God.
King James Version. 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.
New World Translation (Jehovah’s Witnesses’ Bible), this verse. “But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.” Watchtower Online Library

Open 1 Corinthians 15:28

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.
