Berean Study Bible

For by a single offering
The phrase "single offering" emphasizes the uniqueness and sufficiency of Christ's sacrifice. 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.

He has made perfect
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.

for all time
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.

those who are being sanctified
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.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14) No repetition of His offering is needed, for by one offering He hath brought all unto "perfection," and that "for ever." In Hebrews 7:11 we have read that "perfection" did not come through the Levitical priesthood or through the law (Hebrews 10:19); the object of man's hopes and of all priestly service has at last been attained, since through the "great High Priest" "we draw nigh to God" (Hebrews 7:19). In this is involved salvation to the uttermost (Hebrews 7:25). The last word of this verse has occurred before, in Hebrews 2:11. As was there explained, it literally means those who are being sanctified, all those who, from age to age, through faith (Hebrews 10:22) receive as their own that which has been procured for all men. . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 14. - For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. The tense of the participle ἁγιαζομένους, instead of as ver. ἡγιασμένους, in 10, does not involve a different sense of the verb, viz. the ordinary one associated with the word "sanctify." When it was necessary to express by the word itself the accomplishment of sanctification in the sense intended, the perfect participle was used; here the subjects of the same sanctification are denoted, the accomplishment being expressed by τετελείωκε (cf. οἱ ἁγιαζομένοι, Hebrews 2:11). The meaning of τετελείωκε ("hath perfected") may be taken as ruled by τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους: hath perfected them as ἁγίοι, done all that was required for their being such, without any need of any further offering (cf. supra, Hebrews 10:1).
