| where remission of these is--as there is under the Gospel covenant (Heb 10:17). "Here ends the finale (Heb. 10:1-18) of the great tripartite arrangement (Heb. 7:1-25; 7:26-9:12; 9:13-10:18) of the middle portion of the Epistle. Its great theme was Christ a High Priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. What it is to be a high priest after the order of Melchisedec is set forth, Heb. 7:1-25, as contrasted with the Aaronic order. That Christ, however, as High Priest, is Aaron's antitype in the true holy place, by virtue of His self-sacrifice here on earth, and Mediator of a better covenant, whose essential character the old only typified, we learn, Heb. 7:26-9:12. And that Christ's self-sacrifice, offered through the Eternal Spirit, is of everlasting power, as contrasted with the unavailing cycle of legal offerings, is established in the third part, Heb. 9:13-10:18; the first half of this last portion [Heb. 9:13-28], showing that both our present possession of salvation, and our future completion of it, are as certain to us as that He is with God, ruling as a Priest and reigning as a King, once more to appear, no more as a bearer of our sins, but in glory as a Judge. The second half, Heb. 10:1-18, reiterating the main position of the whole, the High Priesthood of Christ, grounded on His offering of Himself--its kingly character its eternal accomplishment of its end, confirmed by Psalms 40 and 110 and Jeremiah 31" [DELITZSCH in ALFORD]. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Now where remission of these is - Remission or forgiveness of sins; that is, of the sins mentioned in the previous verse.
There is no more offering for sin - If those sins are wholly blotted out, there is no more need of sacrifice to atone for them, any more than there is need to pay a debt again which has been once paid. The idea of Paul is, that in the Jewish dispensation there was a constant repeating of the remembrance of sins by the sacrifices which were offered, but that in reference to the dispensation under the Messiah, sin would be entirely cancelled. There would be one great and all-sufficient sacrifice, and when there was faith in that offering, sin would be absolutely forgiven. If that was the case, there would be no occasion for any further sacrifice for it, and the offering need not be repeated. This circumstance, on which the apostle insists so much, made a very important difference between the new covenant and the old. In the one, sacrifices were offered every day; in the other, the sacrifice once made was final and complete; in the one case, there was no such forgiveness but that the offender was constantly reminded of his sins by the necessity of the repetition of sacrifice; in the other, the pardon was so complete that all dread of wrath was taken away, and the sinner might look up to God as calmly and joyfully as if he had never been guilty of transgression. |

offering
Sacrifice, Summary"
(1) The first intimation of sacrifice is (Gen 3:21) the "coats of skins" having obviously come from slain animals. The first clear instance of sacrifice is (Gen 4:4) explained in (Heb 11:4). Abel's righteousness was the result of his sacrifice, not of his character.
(2) Before the giving of the law the head of the family was the family priest. By the law, an order of priests was established who alone could offer sacrifices. Those sacrifices were "shadows," types, expressing variously the guilt and need of the offerer in reference to God, and all pointing to Christ and fulfilled in Him.
(3) As foreshadowed by the types and explained by the New Testament, the sacrifice of Christ is;
penal; (Gal 3:13); (Co2 5:21).
substitutional; (Lev 1:4); (Isa 53:5); (Isa 53:6); (Co2 5:21); (Pe1 2:24).
voluntary; (Gen 22:9); (Joh 10:18).
redemptive; (Gal 3:13); (Eph 1:7); (Co1 6:20).
propitiatory; (Rom 3:25).
reconciling; (Co2 5:18); (Co2 5:19); (Col 1:21); (Col 1:22).
efficacious; (Joh 12:32); (Joh 12:33); (Rom 5:9); (Rom 5:10); (Co2 5:21); (Eph 2:13); (Heb 9:11); (Heb 9:12); (Heb 9:26); (Heb 10:10-17); (Jo1 1:7); (Rev 1:5) and
revelatory. (Joh 3:16); (Jo1 4:9); (Jo1 4:10).

| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
| There is no more offering for sin. Forgiveness of sin is the characteristic of the new covenant. In Jeremiah complete pardon of sins is promised. If the pardon is complete, there is left no place for the Levitical sacrifices under the new covenant. At this point the doctrinal portion of the epistle ends. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Now where remission of these is - In any case, where sin is once pardoned, there is no farther need of a sin-offering; but every believer on Christ has his sin blotted out, and therefore needs no other offering for that sin.
"If," says Dr. Macknight, "after remission is granted to the sinner, there is no need of any more sacrifice for sin; and if Christ, by offering himself once, has perfected for ever the sanctified, Heb 10:14, the sacrifice of the mass, as it is called, about which the Romish clergy employ themselves so incessantly, and to which the papists trust for the pardon of their sins, has no foundation in Scripture. Nay, it is an evident impiety, as it proceeds upon the supposition that the offering of the body of Christ once is not sufficient to procure the pardon of sin, but must be frequently repeated. If they reply that their mass is only the representation and commemoration of the sacrifice of Christ, they give up the cause, and renounce an article of their faith, established by the council of Trent, which, in session xxii. can. 1, 3, declared the sacrifice of the mass to be a true and propitiatory sacrifice for sin. I say, give up the cause; for the representation and commemoration of a sacrifice is not a sacrifice. Farther, it cannot be affirmed that the body of Christ is offered in the mass, unless it can be said that, as often as it is offered, Christ has suffered death; for the apostle says expressly, Heb 9:25, Heb 9:26, that if Christ offered himself often, he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world." Let him disprove this who can. |
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;
13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
33 This he said, signifying what death he should die.
32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
4 And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
