And by that will
The phrase "by that will" refers to the divine will of God, which is central to the New Covenant. In the Greek, "will" is "θέλημα" (thelēma), indicating a deliberate choice or purpose. This highlights God's sovereign plan for redemption, contrasting the Old Covenant's repeated sacrifices with the singular, efficacious sacrifice of Christ. Historically, this underscores the transition from the law to grace, emphasizing God's intentional design for salvation through Jesus.

we have been sanctified
The term "sanctified" comes from the Greek "ἡγιασμένοι" (hēgiasmenoi), meaning to be made holy or set apart. This sanctification is not a process but a completed action, signifying the believer's position in Christ. It reflects the transformative power of Jesus' sacrifice, setting believers apart for God's purposes. Scripturally, this aligns with the theme of holiness found throughout the Bible, where God's people are called to be distinct from the world.

through the sacrifice
The word "sacrifice" in Greek is "θυσία" (thysia), which refers to an offering. In the context of Hebrews, it contrasts the repeated animal sacrifices of the Old Testament with the singular, perfect sacrifice of Jesus. This highlights the sufficiency and finality of Christ's atonement, fulfilling the sacrificial system and providing a new way to approach God.

of the body of Jesus Christ
This phrase emphasizes the physical, incarnate nature of Jesus' sacrifice. The Greek "σῶμα" (sōma) for "body" underscores the reality of Christ's humanity, essential for His role as the perfect mediator. Historically, this counters early heresies that denied Jesus' true humanity. Theologically, it affirms the necessity of the Incarnation for redemption, as only a perfect human could atone for human sin.

once for all
The phrase "once for all" is translated from the Greek "ἐφάπαξ" (ephapax), meaning a single, all-encompassing event. This underscores the completeness and finality of Christ's sacrifice, contrasting with the repetitive nature of Old Testament sacrifices. It assures believers of the sufficiency of Jesus' atonement, providing eternal redemption and access to God. This concept is foundational to the assurance of salvation, emphasizing that no further sacrifice is needed.

(10) By the which will we are sanctified.--Better, In which will we have been sanctified. In the last verse we read of that which Jesus established--the doing of the will of God. He did that will when He offered the sacrifice of His perfect obedience--"obedience as far as death" (Philippians 2:8). In this will of God which He accomplished lies our sanctification, effected "through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." In Hebrews 9:14 the efficacy of the blood of Christ to cleanse the conscience is contrasted with the power of the offerings of the law to "sanctify in regard to cleanness of the flesh:" here the real sanctification is joined with "the offering of the body of Jesus Christ." In the word "body" lies a reference to Hebrews 10:8, where the body is looked on as the instrument of obedient service (comp. Romans 12:1); but the word "offering" still preserves its sacrificial character, and contains an allusion to the presentation of the body of the slain victim. (Comp. Hebrews 13:11). As this offering has been presented "once for all" (Hebrews 7:27; Hebrews 9:12), so "once for all" has the work of sanctification been achieved. . . .
