In the Greek, the word for "offering" is "προσφορά" (prosphora), which denotes a gift or sacrifice presented to God. Historically, the Jewish sacrificial system required repeated offerings, but Christ's sacrifice was once and for all. This highlights the finality and completeness of His work on the cross, contrasting with the repetitive nature of Old Testament sacrifices. Theologically, this underscores the belief that Jesus' death was sufficient to atone for all sin, a cornerstone of conservative Christian doctrine.<p><b>He has made perfect</b><br />The Greek term "τετελείωκεν" (teteleiōken) is used here, which is derived from "τελειόω" (teleioō), meaning to complete or perfect. This word choice indicates a completed action with ongoing results. In the context of Hebrews, "made perfect" refers to the spiritual completeness and maturity that believers receive through Christ. Historically, the concept of perfection in Jewish thought was often linked to ritual purity and adherence to the law. However, in Christ, believers are seen as perfect in their standing before God, not through their own efforts but through His finished work.<p><b>for all time</b><br />This phrase underscores the eternal nature of Christ's sacrifice. The Greek "εἰς τὸ διηνεκές" (eis to dienekes) translates to "forever" or "continually." It signifies that the effects of Jesus' offering are not temporary but everlasting. This assurance of eternal redemption is a source of great comfort and hope for believers, affirming that their salvation is secure. In a historical context, this would have been a radical departure from the temporary atonement provided by the annual Day of Atonement in Jewish tradition.<p><b>those who are being sanctified</b><br />The process of sanctification is ongoing, as indicated by the present participle "τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους" (tous hagiazomenous) in Greek. Sanctification refers to the process of being made holy, set apart for God's purposes. This phrase highlights the dynamic nature of the Christian life, where believers are continually being transformed into the likeness of Christ. Scripturally, sanctification is both a positional reality and a progressive experience. While believers are declared holy through Christ's sacrifice, they are also called to grow in holiness through the work of the Holy Spirit. This dual aspect of sanctification is a key tenet in conservative Christian theology, emphasizing both the assurance of salvation and the call to live a life that reflects God's holiness.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/hebrews/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) No repetition of His offering is needed, for by one offering He hath brought all unto "perfection," and that "for ever."
