Context — The Superiority of Christ's Sacrificegenerated

13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,
14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.
15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:
16“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

Hebrews 10:14 explains that through His one-time offering, Jesus has perfected those who are being sanctified. This verse emphasizes the finality and completeness of Christ's sacrifice, contrasting it with the repeated sacrifices of the Old Testament. The author is addressing the Jewish audience, highlighting the transformative power of Christ's atonement and its implications for believers, as also seen in Hebrews 9:12.

The Key Word τελειόω, teleioōgenerated

The verb τελειόω means to perfect or complete. It is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action with ongoing results. In this context, it signifies that Jesus' offering has fully accomplished its purpose, making believers perfect in their standing before God.

This perfect tense suggests that the effects of Jesus' sacrifice are not just momentary but endure forever, ensuring that those who are being sanctified are continually seen as perfect in God's eyes.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study uses the Berean Standard Bible as the baseline, which states that Jesus has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified. Other translations, such as the KJV and ASV, use the phrase perfected for ever, aligning closely with the BSB.

Where translations differ is primarily in the rendering of διηνεκὲς. The BSB and MSB say all time, while the WEB and FBV use forever, reflecting a similar meaning but with different emphases.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The finite verb τετελείωκεν (He has perfected) governs the main clause, with a noun phrase describing the object τοὺς ἁγιαζομένους (those who are being sanctified) following it. The conjunction γὰρ (for) introduces the reason for this statement.

The structure emphasizes the action of perfecting as central, while the additional phrases provide context regarding the nature of the offering and its recipients.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

ἁγιάζωto sanctify — is used in the Septuagint to translate the Hebrew word קָדַשׁ (H6942), which means to set apart or consecrate. This connection highlights the continuity of the theme of holiness from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

The term τελειόω does not have a direct equivalent in the Septuagint but relates to the concept of completion found in various Hebrew terms that express fulfillment or perfection.


In plain words — the whole versegenerated

Hebrews 10:14 tells us that through His one offering, Jesus has made perfect forever those who are being made holy. This verse emphasizes that Jesus' sacrifice is complete and sufficient for all believers, ensuring their sanctification and acceptance before God.

This verse indicates that sanctification is an ongoing process for believers, who are continually being made holy through the effects of Jesus' perfect sacrifice.

Charles John Ellicott1819–1905Ellicott'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…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Una enim oblatione, consummavit in sempiternum sanctificatos.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Syriac Peshittaby AD 400

ܒܚܕ ܓܝܪ ܩܘܪܒܢܐ ܓܡܪ ܠܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܬܩܕܫܝܢ ܒܗ ܠܥܠܡ

The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

Shown verse by verse rather than word by word: aligning a Greek word to its Latin or Syriac counterpart automatically would be guesswork, and a wrong alignment is worse than none.

εἷς is a cardinal numeral meaning 'one.' It contrasts with many and can function as a noun or adjective. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as emphasizing unity (e.g., John 10:30) or indicating exclusivity (e.g., Matthew 27:14). The entries note its use in phrases like 'one by one' and as an ordinal meaning 'first.'

The Greek word γάρ (gar) is a coordinating particle primarily used to introduce reasons or explanations, similar to 'for' in English. It can serve various functions, including causal, explicative, and conclusive, and is often placed after the first word in a clause. In the New Testament, it appears in contexts that clarify or justify preceding statements, aligning with its classical usage.

γάρ, a conjunction, which ace. to its composition, γέ and dpa (i. 4. ἄρ), is properly a particle of affirmation and conclusion, denoting truly therefore, verily as the case stands, “ the thing is first aflirmed by the particle yé, and then is referred to what precedes by the force of the particle dpa” (Klotz ad Devar. ii. 1, p. 232; οἵ. Kiihner ii. p. 724; [Jelf § 786; W. 445 (415) sq-]). Now since by a new affirmation not infrequently the reason and nature of something previously mentioned are set forth, it comes to pass that, by the use of this particle, either the reason and cause of a foregoing statement is added, whence arises the causal or argumentative force of the particle, for (Lat. nam, enim; Germ. denn) ; or some previous declaration is explained, whence γάρ takes on an ex plicative force: YP Sor, the fact is, namely (Lat. videlicet, Germ. ndmilich).

The Greek word προσφορά (prosphora) means 'offering' or 'sacrifice' and is derived from the verb προσφέρω (prospherō), meaning 'to bring to.' It encompasses various types of offerings, both bloody and bloodless, and is used in the New Testament to refer to sacrificial acts, such as in Acts and Hebrews. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meaning.

Offering

An oblation, dedicated to God. Thus Cain consecrated to God of the first-fruits of the earth, and Abel of the firstlings of the flock (Gen. 4:3, 4). Under the Levitical system different kinds of offerings are specified, and laws laid down as to their presentation. These are described under their distinctive names.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

In the Hebrew, an offering, minchah, is distinguished from a sacrifice, zebah, as being bloodless. In our version, however, the word offering is often used for a sacrifice, as in the case of peace offerings, sin offerings, etc. Of the proper offerings, that is, the unbloody offerings, some accompanied the sacrifices, as flour, wine, salt; others were not connected with any sacrifices. Like the sacrifices, some, as the first fruits and tenths, were obligatory; other were voluntary offerings of devotion. Various sorts of offerings are enumerated in the books of Moses. Among these are,

1. Fine flour, or meal;

2. Cakes baked in an oven;

3. Cakes baked on a plate or shallow pan;

4. Cakes cooked in deep vessel by frying in oil, (English version, "frying pan," though some understand here a gridiron or a plate with holes;)

τελειόω is common in legal papyri = “ execute”: see e.g. P Oxy TIT. 483°° (A.D. 108) τελειῶσαι τὸν χρημα[τισμὸν] ὡς καθήκει, ‘to execute the deed in the proper way” (Edd.), and P Giss I. 34% (A.D. 265-6) éredel[woe]y τὰ νόμιμα. In P Oxy IT. 2389 (A.D. 72) it seems rather to have the meaning “complete” by the insertion of date and signatures— προσέρχεσθαι τοῖς ἀγορανόμοις καὶ τε[λειοῦν] ταύτας (sc. οἰκονομίας) ἐντὸς [.... : see the editors’ note.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

Webster's Dictionary (1828), Webster's Unabridged (1913), Webster's Dictionary (1806)

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

Th' adorning thee with so much art,

Is but a barb'rous skill.

The Greek word διηνεκής (dienekes) means continuous or unbroken. It is derived from a compound form meaning 'carried through' and is used adverbially to indicate perpetuity or continuity, especially in the New Testament (Hebrews 7:3, 10:1, 12, 14). The entries consistently describe it as conveying the idea of something that lasts without interruption.

tim: The basis of the Hebrew measurement of time was the day and the lunar month, as with the Semites generally. The division of the day into hours was late, probably not common until after the exile, although the sun-dial of Ahaz (2Ki 20:9; Isa 38:8) would scent to indicate some division of the day into periods of some sort, as we know the night was divided, The word used for "hour" is Aramaic she`a' (sha`ta'), and does not occur in the Old Testament until the Book of Daniel (4:33; 5:5), and even there it stands for an indefinite period for which "time" would answer as well.

1. The Day:

The term "day" (yom) was in use from the earliest times, as is indicated in the story of the Creation (Ge 1). It there doubtless denotes an indefinite period, but is marked off by "evening and…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

Besides the ordinary uses of this word, the Bible sometimes employs it to denote a year, as in Da 4:16; or a prophetic year, consisting of three hundred and sixty natural year, a day being taken for a year. Thus in Da 7:25 12:7, the phrase "a time, times, and the dividing of a time" is supposed to mean three and a half prophetic years, or 1,260 natural years. This period is elsewhere paralleled by the expression, "forty-two months," each month including thirty years, Re 11:2-3 12:6,14 13:5.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

The Greek word ἁγιάζω (*hagiazo*) means to make holy or sanctify, derived from ἅγιος (*hagios*). It encompasses the concepts of consecration, purification, and treating something as sacred. In the New Testament, it is used in various contexts, including the sanctification of people and things, as seen in Matthew 23:17 and 1 Corinthians 6:11. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings.

Abbott-Smith, Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT

ἁγιάζω, Hellenistic form of ἁγίζω

(< ἅγιος),

to make holy, consecrate, sanctify; [in LXX chiefly for קדשׁ pi., hi.;]

to dedicate, separate, set apart for God; of things: Mt 23:17, 19, II Ti 2:21; of persons: Christ, Jo 10:36, 17:19.

to purify, make conformable in character to such dedication: forensically, to free from guilt, I Co 6:11, Eph 5:26, He 2:11, 10:10, 14, 29, 13:12; internally, by actual sanctification of life, Jo 17:17, 19, Ac 20:32, 26:18, Ro 15:16,

ἁγιάζω; 1 aor. ἡγίασα; Pass., [pres. ἁγιάζομαι] ; pf. ἡγίagua; 1 aor. ἡγιάσθην; a word for which the Greeks use ἁγίζειν, but very freq. in bibl. (as equiv. to wap, Wp) and 600]. writ.; to make ἅγιον, render or declare sacred or holy, consecrate. Hence it denotes 1. to render or acknowledge to be venerable, io hallow: τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ θεοῦ, Mt. vi. 9 (so of God, Is. xxix. 23; Ezek. xx. 41; xxxvili. 23; Sir. xxxiii. (xxxvi.) 4); [Lk. xi. 2]; τὸν Χριστόν, 1 Pet. iii. 15 (RG θεόν). Since the stamp of sacredness passes over from the holiness of God to whatever has any connection with God, ἁγιάζειν denotes 2. to separate from things profane and dedicate to God, to consecrate and so render inviolable; a. things (πᾶν πρωτότοκον, τὰ ἀρσενικά, Deut. xv. 193 ἡμέραν, Ex. xx. 8; οἶκον, 2 Chr, vii. 16, ete.) : τὸν χρυσόν, Mt. xxiii. 17; τὸ δῶρον, vs. 19; σκεῦος, 2 Tim. ii. 21. b. persons.

Moulton & Milligan, Vocabulary of the Greek Testament from a scan

ἁγιάζω. Clear evidence for the verb and noun outside bibl. and eccl. writings appears to be wanting: cf. Anz Swdsidza, Ρ. 374 f. The suffix -άζειν was as active as our -/y in producing new words, and the abstract -ασμός accompanied it, as -/ication accompanies our verb. When therefore ἅγιος was appropriated in Jewish circles to represent their special idea of ‘‘ holiness,” it was natural that the factitive derivative should be coined from it, as a technical term which would be immediately understood by any Greek, even if he had never met with the actual form. The series was the more needed, as Greek religion had already the forms ἁγίζω, ἁγισμός, ἁγιστεύω, ἁγιστήριον, etc., with their technical meanings: the variant words with the added -a- answered to them in function, but were free from pagan association.

Counted over the 119 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
