1 Corinthians 15:27

25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

For “God has put everything under His feet.” Now when it says that everything has been put under Him, this clearly does not include the One who put everything under Him.

28 And when all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will be made subject to Him who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all.

29 If these things are not so, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
