For by one offering he hath perfected them that are sanctified. If, as He says, he sits for ever at the right hand of God after His Passion and Sacrifice, and for ever sanctifies those coming unto Him, how is it possible that heaven can be dissolved when He sits there for ever, and those coming unto Him are sanctified.<br/><i>— The Christian Topography, Book 7</i></p><p><b>John Chrysostom</b>: \"And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifice.\" To stand therefore is a sign of ministering; accordingly to sit, is a sign of being ministered unto. \"But this man after He had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God, from henceforth expecting till His enemies be made His footstool.\" \"For by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us.\" He had said that those sacrifices are not offered; he reasoned from what is written, and from what is not written; moreover also he put forward the prophetic word which says, \"sacrifice and offering Thou wouldest not.\" He had said that He had forgiven their sins. Again this also He proves from the testimony of what is written, for \"the Holy Ghost\" (he says) \"is a witness to us: for after that He had said, 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, and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now where remission of these is there is no more offering for sin.\" So then He forgave their sins, when He gave the Covenant, and He gave the Covenant by sacrifice. If therefore He forgave the sins through the one sacrifice, there is no longer need of a second.<br/><i>— Homily on Hebrews 18</i></p><p><b>Oecumenius</b>: \"And every priest stands.\" Therefore, to stand is a sign of serving. But to sit, just as Christ sat at the right hand of the Father, is a sign of being served, as being God.<br/>— \"Daily offering.\" [PHOTIUS] He says that the same sacrifices were offered for the same things, and since the sacrifices and offerings that had been made were no longer effective, they could not completely and perfectly take away sin.
