Subjected to
(From Forerunner Commentary)

1 Corinthians 15:24  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Here the word hupotasso is translated "put under," its literal meaning. The Revised Standard Version and the Revised English Version render the word as "subjected to." John W. Ritenbaugh Submitting (Part 1)

Philippians 3:21  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) In this verse, the phrase "subdue all things to Himself" adds more detail to this picture of oneness. "Subdue" (hupotasso) means "to place in order" or "to place under in an orderly fashion." This word describes someone neatly rearranging scattered, disorganized objects according to a pattern. In this context, the objects are not merely things, but people whose minds are in disorder, divided, confused, and not wholly subject to God as a result of their own actions. Before being subdued, they exercised their own free will, followed the deceptions of Satan, loved the world, and showed enmity toward God. Yet when Christ puts us in order, rearranges us, subdues us to bring us into oneness, He goes so far as to change our bodies to conform to the body of the One doing the subduing—God! John W. Ritenbaugh All in All

Philippians 3:21  (Go to this verse :: Verse pop-up) Hupotasso is here translated "subdue." The Revised English Bible and the Revised Standard Version translate this "subject to." The New International Version reads "under His control." John W. Ritenbaugh Submitting (Part 1)
