- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28So Christ was once offered - He shall die no more; he has borne away the sins of many, and what he has done once shall stand good for ever.

Unto salvation - To deliver the bodies of believers from the empire of death, to reunite them to their purified souls, and bring both into his eternal glory.
