Context — The Finality of Christ's Sacrificegenerated
Hebrews 10:18 addresses the concept of forgiveness in the context of Christ's sacrifice. The author emphasizes that once sins are forgiven, there is no longer a requirement for additional offerings for sin. This reflects the transition from the Old Covenant, where sacrifices were continually needed, to the New Covenant established through Jesus. The surrounding verses (Hebrews 10:17-19) reinforce this point by quoting God's promise to forget the sins of His people.

The Key Word — ἄφεσις, aphesisgenerated
The word ἄφεσις is a noun meaning 'forgiveness' or 'pardon', derived from ἀφίημι, which means to release or dismiss. It signifies being set free from the debt of sin, reflecting God's grace in forgiving transgressions.
In this context, ἄφεσις indicates that once forgiveness is granted, the need for further sacrifices for sin is abolished, highlighting the completeness of Christ's atonement.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'And where these have been forgiven, an offering for sin is no longer needed.' The KJV and ASV use 'remission' in place of 'forgiven', while the WEB and BBE also emphasize the concept of forgiveness.
Translations differ primarily on the term used for 'offering'. The BSB uses 'an offering', while the ASV and KJV simply state 'offering', and others like the DBY use 'sacrifice'.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause is governed by the finite verb ἄφεσις, with a subordinate clause explaining the condition of forgiveness and a noun phrase indicating what is no longer needed. The structure emphasizes the relationship between forgiveness and the cessation of sacrifices.
The phrase 'where these have been forgiven' serves as an adverbial clause, setting the context for the main assertion that an offering for sin is no longer required.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
ἄφεσις appears in the Septuagint, often translating the Hebrew word for sin or forgiveness, such as חַטָּאָה (H2403). This connection underscores the continuity of the theme of forgiveness from the Old Testament to the New.
In the Septuagint, ἄφεσις is used in contexts that highlight God's mercy and the removal of sin, further informing our understanding of its significance in Hebrews.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Hebrews 10:18 explains that when sins are forgiven, there is no longer a need for offerings for sin. This reflects the complete and final nature of Jesus' sacrifice, which fulfills the requirements of the Old Covenant.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
It means that once sins are forgiven through Christ's sacrifice, there is no further need for animal sacrifices or offerings to atone for sin.
This verse indicates a shift from the Old Testament practice of continual sacrifices for sin to the final sacrifice made by Jesus, which provides complete forgiveness.
The word 'forgiven' signifies that sins are released and no longer held against the individual, emphasizing God's grace and mercy.
Forgiveness is central to Christianity as it reflects God's love and the means by which believers can be reconciled to Him through faith in Jesus.

Thomas Aquinas comments on this verse to illustrate the superiority of the New Testament over the Old Testament in terms of cleansing from sin.

Those words form the triumphant close of the argument. To revert to Judaism, to offer sacrifices, meant henceforth faithlessness as regards Christ’s finished work. And if sacrifices were henceforth abolished there was obviously an end of the Aaronic Priesthood, and therewith of the whole Old Covenant. The shadow had now been superseded by the substance, the sketch by the reality. And thus the writer has at last made good his opening words, that “at this end of the days God had revealed Himself to us by…

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.
Ubi autem horum remissio : jam non est oblatio pro peccato.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

The Greek word ὅπου (i.e., *hopou*) is an adverb meaning 'where' or 'whither.' It is derived from two components and is used in various contexts, including relative clauses and indirect questions. The New Testament employs it to denote locations and conditions, as seen in verses like Matthew 6:19 and Revelation 2:13. It can also express time or cause, as noted in 1 Corinthians 3:3.

δέ (de) is a post-positive particle in Greek, primarily used as a conjunction to connect clauses. It can express contrast (but, on the other hand) or continuation (and, also), and is often used to transition between ideas or to add emphasis. In the New Testament, it appears frequently in various contexts, such as contrasting statements or resuming interrupted discourse, with notable examples in Matthew and 2 Corinthians.

a conjunctive particle, marking the superaddition of a clause, whether in opposition or in continuation, to what has preceded, and it may be variously rendered but, on the other hand, and, also, now, etc.; καὶ δέ, when there is a special superaddition in continuation, too, yea, etc. It sometimes is found at the commencement of the apodosis of a sentence, Acts 11:17. It serves also to mark the resumption of an interrupted discourse, 2 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 2:6
δέ but: conjunctive Particle, with adversative force: it commonly answers to μέν, and may often be rendered by while, whereas, on the other hand, v. μέν:— but μέν is often omitted, δέ being used merely to pass on from one thing to another; ὣς Ἀχιλεὺς θάμβησεν, θάμβησαν δὲ καὶ ἄλλοι Il.; etc.; κινεῖ κραδίην κινεῖ δὲ χόλον Eur.
δέ is often redundant,
to introduce the apodosis, where it may be rendered by then, yet, εἰ δέ κε μὴ δώωσιν, ἐγὼ δέ κεν αὐτὸς ἕλωμαι if they will not give it, then I will take it, Il.; so at in Lat., si tu oblitus es, at Dii meminerint Catull.

The Greek word ἄφεσις (i.e., *aphesis*) is derived from ἀφίημι and means release or dismissal. It encompasses concepts such as forgiveness, pardon, and remission, particularly in relation to sins, as seen in several New Testament passages like Luke 4:18 and Matthew 26:28. While most entries agree on its primary meanings, Trench notes a significant theological debate regarding its use in contrast to the term πάρεσις, particularly in the context of Old Covenant forgiveness.
ἼΛφεσις is the standing word by which forgiveness, or remission of sins, is expressed in the N. T. (see Vitringa, Obss. Sac. vol. i. pp. 909-983) ; though, remarkably enough, the LXX. — knows nothing of this use of the word, Gen. iv. 18 being the nearest approach to it. Derived from ἀφιέναι, the image which underlies it is that of a releasing, as of a prisoner (Isai. lxi. 1), or letting go, as of a debt (Deut. xv. 8). Probably the year of jubilee, called constantly ἔτος, or ἐνιαυτὸς, τῆς ἀφέσεως, Or simply ἄφεσις (Lev. xxv. 31, 40; xxvii. 24), the year in which all debts were forgiven, suggested the higher application of the word, which is frequent in the N. T., though more frequent in St. Luke than in all the other books of the New Covenant put together. On a single occasion, however, the term πάρεσις τῶν ἁμαρτημάτων occurs (Rom. iii. 25). Our Translators have noticed in the margin…

ἄφεσις. In Egypt ἄφεσις τοῦ ὕδατος was apparently a technical expression for the ‘‘release” of the water from the sluices or canals for the purpose of irrigation, e.g. P Petr II. 13(2)** (B.c. 258-3) ἵνα ἐπισκευασθῶσι mpd τῆς τοῦ ὕδατος ἀφέσεως, “in order that they (sc. bridges) may be finished before the letting loose of the water” (Ed.), 76. III. 39%, and 44 verso i 18 1. τζῶν κατ]ὰ Πτολεμαίδα a[hjécewy ἠνώιξαμεν B θύρας]. In this sense the noun may be concrete, meaning apparently a *‘ channel” or “sluice” : P Oxy VI. 918Y- 30 (ii/A.D.) ἀπηλ(ιώτου) ὁδὸ(ς) δημοσί(α) ἐν ἡ ἄφεσις λιθίνη. Hence, as Deissmann has shown (25 p. 98 ff.), the increased vividness for the Egyptians of the pictures in Joel 1°°, Lam 347 through the use of ἀφέσεις by the LX X translators. The word is similarly employed to denote the official “release” of the harvest after the taxes had been paid, in order that the…

The Greek word οὗτος (i.e., *houtos*) is a demonstrative pronoun meaning 'this' or 'this one.' It is used to refer to something nearby or recently mentioned, often with a connotation of contempt in certain contexts. In the New Testament, it appears in various forms, such as in Matthew 3:17 and John 1:15, and can also serve to emphasize or clarify a subject.

The Greek word οὐ (transliterated as ou) is a primary negative particle meaning 'not' or 'no.' It is used to negate verbs or statements, often appearing in various forms depending on the following sound. In the New Testament, it frequently serves to deny facts and is distinct from another negative particle, μή (transliterated as mē), which is used for prohibitions or wishes.

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.
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;)

The Greek word ἁμαρτία (i.e., *hamartia*) primarily means 'sin' or 'failure to hit the mark.' It encompasses ethical wrongdoing and is used in the New Testament to describe both individual acts of sin and the overarching principle of sin as a dominating force in human life. Various lexicons note its use in contexts such as guilt and the nature of sin, with references in Romans and John highlighting its significance in Christian theology.
παράβασις, παράπτωμα, ἀγνόημα, ἥττημα. A MOURNFULLY numerous group of words, and one which it would be only too easy to make larger still. Nor is it hard to see why. For sin, which we may define in the 240 SYNONYMS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. ϑιυχνι. language of Augustine, as ‘ factum vel dictuin yel concuvitum aliquid contra eternam legem’ (Con. Faust. xxii. 27; cf. the Stoic definition, ἁμάρτημα, νόμου ἀπαγόρευμα, Plutarch, De Rep. Stoic. 11); or again, ‘ voluntas admittendi vel retinendi quod justitia vetat, et unde liberum est abstinere’ (Con. Jul. i. 47), may be regarded under an infinite number of aspects, and in all languages has been so regarded; and as the diagnosis of it belongs most of all to the Scriptures, nowhere else are we likely to find it contemplated on so many sides, set forth under such various images. It may be regarded as the missing of a mark or aim; it is then ἁμαρτία…

Sin
Is “any want of conformity unto or transgression of the law of God” (1 John 3:4; Rom. 4:15), in the inward state and habit of the soul, as well as in the outward conduct of the life, whether by omission or commission (Rom. 6:12-17; 7:5-24). It is “not a mere violation of the law of our constitution, nor of the system of things, but an offence against a personal lawgiver and moral governor who vindicates his law with penalties. The soul that sins is always conscious that his sin is (1) intrinsically vile and polluting, and (2) that it justly deserves punishment, and calls down the righteous wrath of God. Hence sin carries with it two inalienable characters, (1) ill-desert, guilt (reatus); and (2) pollution (macula).”, Hodge’s…
a city of Egypt, mentioned only by Ezekiel. (Ezekiel 30:15,16) The name is Hebrew, or at least Semitic, perhaps signifying clay . It is identified in the Vulgate with Pelusium, "the clayey or muddy" town. Its antiquity may perhaps be inferred from the mention of "the wilderness of Sin" in the journeys of the Israelites. (Exodus 16:1; Numbers 33:11) Ezekiel speaks of Sin as "Sin the strongholds of Egypt." (Ezekiel 30:15) This place was held by Egypt from that time until the period of the Romans. Herodotus relates that Sennacherib advanced against Pelusium, and that near Pelusium Cambyses defeated Psammenitus. In like manner the decisive battle in which Ochus defeated the…
1. Any thought, word, desire, action, or omission of action, contrary to the law of God, or defective when compared with it.
The origin of sin is a subject which baffles all investigation; and our inquiries are much better directed when we seek through Christ a release from its penalty and power, for ourselves and the world. Its entrance into the world, and infection of the whole human race, its nature, forms, and effects, and its fatal possession of every unregenerate soul, are fully described in the Bible, Ge 6:5 Ps 51:5 Mt 15:19 Ro 5:12 Jas 1:14,15.
