Literal (Young’s Literal Translation)

for all things He did put under his feet, and, when one may say that all things have been subjected, [it is] evident that He is excepted who did subject the all things to him,

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
