This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Else must he often have suffered (epei edei auton pollakis pathein). A common elliptical use of epei after which one must supply “if that were true” or “in that case,” a protasis of a condition of the second class assumed to be untrue. The conclusion with edei is without an (verbs of necessity, obligation, etc.). See Robertson, Grammar, p. 963. The conclusion with an occurs in Heb 10:2. See also 1Co 5:10. “Since, if that were true, it would be necessary for him to suffer often.”

Since the foundation of the world (apo katabolēs kosmou). See Heb 4:3 for this phrase. The one sacrifice of Christ is of absolute and final value (1Pe 1:19.; Rev 13:8).

At the end (epi sunteleiāi). Consummation or completion as in Mat 13:39. which see.

Hath he been manifested (pephanerōtai). Perfect passive indicative of phaneroō, permanent state. See “the primitive hymn or confession of faith” (Moffatt) in 1Ti 3:16 and also 1Pe 1:20. Jesus came once for all (Heb 1:2).

To put away sin (eis athetēsin tēs hamartias). See Heb 7:18 for the word athetēsis. “The sacrifice of Christ dealt with sin as a principle: the Levitical sacrifices with individual transgressions” (Vincent).
