Hebrews 9:28
So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
KJV
οὕτως καὶ ὁ Χριστός, ἅπαξ προσενεχθεὶς εἰς τὸ πολλῶν ἀνενεγκεῖν ἁμαρτίας, ἐκ δευτέρου χωρὶς ἁμαρτίας ὀφθήσεται τοῖς αὐτὸν ἀπεκδεχομένοις εἰς σωτηρίαν.
Greek NT
sic et Christus semel oblatus est ad multorum exhaurienda peccata : secundo sine peccato apparebit exspectantibus se, in salutem.
Vulgate
so Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear a second time, apart from sin, to them that wait for him, unto salvation.
ASV
So also Christ was offered once to exhaust the sins of many. The second time he shall appear without sin to them that expect him unto salvation.

1. Beloved, we need great diligence in all things, for we shall render account of and undergo a strict enquiry both of words and works. Our interests stop not with what now is, but a certain other condition of life shall receive us after this, and we shall be brought before a fearful tribunal. For we must appear before the Judgment-seat of Christ, that every one may receive the…
The offering of Christ once made is that perfect redemption, propitiation, and satisfaction, for all the sins of the whole world, both original and actual; and there is none other satisfaction for sin, but that alone. Wherefore the sacrifices of Masses, in the which it was commonly said that the priest did offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have remission of pain or gu…
Greater offence I know not than that one does not allow priests to have lawful wives but permits them to hire concubines. The mass is not a sacrifice but is a remembrance of the sacrifice and assurance of the salvation which Christ has given us. Christ, having sacrificed Himself once, is to eternity a certain and valid sacrifice for the sins of all faithful.

Q. Why is he called Christ, meaning anointed? A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who perfectly reveals to us the secret counsel and will of God for our deliverance; our only high priest who has set us free by the one sacrifice of his body, and who continually pleads our cause with the …
Q. What do you understand by the word suffered? A. That during his whole life on earth, but especially at the end, Christ sustained in body and soul the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race. This he did in order that, by his suffering as the only atoning sacrifice, he might set us free, body and soul, from eternal condemnation, and gain for us God's grace, right…
Q. How does the Lord's Supper differ from the Roman Catholic Mass? A. The Lord's Supper declares to us that our sins have been completely forgiven through the one sacrifice of Jesus Christ which he himself finished on the cross once for all. It also declares to us that the Holy Spirit grafts us into Christ, who with his very body is now in heaven at the right hand of the Father…
This death of God's Son is the only and entirely complete sacrifice and satisfaction for sins; it is of infinite value and worth, more than sufficient to atone for the sins of the whole world.
We believe the Lord Jesus Christ to be the one Mediator between God and men; the eternal High Priest, who by the sacrifice of Himself upon the Cross reconciled the Father to us, and offered Himself a ransom for all, not for the elect only, as the abominable heresy of Calvin teaches. For Christ tasted death for every man. He hath achieved the redemption of all mankind, and His d…
Luther declares the Mass as practiced by Rome to be the greatest and most horrible abomination, standing in direct conflict with the chief article. The Mass is not a sacrifice offered to God for the living and the dead, but the Lord's Supper is a gift from God to be received in faith. Christ offered Himself once for all; the repetition of His sacrifice in the Mass denies the su…
Melanchthon retains the Mass as a celebration of the Lord's Supper but rejects the teaching that it is a sacrifice offered to God for the sins of the living and the dead. Christ's sacrifice on the cross was offered once for all and needs no repetition. The Supper is a sacrament — a gift from God to be received in faith — not a work by which humans offer something to God. Masses…
