10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 God's way - by which we are made fit for God by the once-for-all sacrifice of Jesus.
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
10 For God's will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
11 And every priest stands daily at his service, offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
11 Every priest goes to work at the altar each day, offers the same old sacrifices year in, year out, and never makes a dent in the sin problem.
11 And every priest stands ministering daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
11 Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins.
(Read Hebrews 10:11-18)
Under the new covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardon is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the new covenant and the old one. Under the old, sacrifices must be often repeated, and after all, only pardon as to this world was to be obtained by them. Under the new, one Sacrifice is enough to procure for all nations and ages, spiritual pardon, or being freed from punishment in the world to come. Well might this be called a new covenant. Let none suppose that human inventions can avail those who put them in the place of the sacrifice of the Son of God. What then remains, but that we seek an interest in this Sacrifice by faith; and the seal of it to our souls, by the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience? So that by the law being written in our hearts, we may know that we are justified, and that God will no more remember our sins.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hebrews 10:10
Commentary on Hebrews 10:1-10
(Read Hebrews 10:1-10)
The apostle having shown that the tabernacle, and ordinances of the covenant of Sinai, were only emblems and types of the gospel, concludes that the sacrifices the high priests offered continually, could not make the worshippers perfect, with respect to pardon, and the purifying of their consciences. But when "God manifested in the flesh," became the sacrifice, and his death upon the accursed tree the ransom, then the Sufferer being of infinite worth, his free-will sufferings were of infinite value. The atoning sacrifice must be one capable of consenting, and must of his own will place himself in the sinner's stead: Christ did so. The fountain of all that Christ has done for his people, is the sovereign will and grace of God. The righteousness brought in, and the sacrifice once offered by Christ, are of eternal power, and his salvation shall never be done away. They are of power to make all the comers thereunto perfect; they derive from the atoning blood, strength and motives for obedience, and inward comfort.
