“For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.”
For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified (tous hagiazonemous) — Christ's singular offering (prosforā mia) accomplishes once-and-for-all perfection (teleiōsen eis to dienekes, perfected unto completeness); the ongoing sanctification of believers flows from that completed work. The present participle (being sanctified) indicates the continuous process grounded in the finished act.
