SEV Biblia, Chapter 10:18
Pues donde hay remisin de stos, no hay ms ofrenda por el pecado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Hebrew 10:18
Verse 18. Now where remission of these is] In any case, where sin is once pardoned, there is no farther need of a sin- offering; but every believer on Christ has his sin blotted out, and therefore needs no other offering for that sin. "If," says Dr. Macknight, "after remission is granted to the sinner, there is no need of any more sacrifice for sin; and if Christ, by offering himself once, has perfected for ever the sanctified, ver. 14, the sacrifice of the mass, as it is called, about which the Romish clergy employ themselves so incessantly, and to which the papists trust for the pardon of their sins, has no foundation in Scripture. Nay, it is an evident impiety, as it proceeds upon the supposition that the offering of the body of Christ once is not sufficient to procure the pardon of sin, but must be frequently repeated. If they reply that their mass is only the representation and commemoration of the sacrifice of Christ, they give up the cause, and renounce an article of their faith, established by the council of Trent, which, in session xxii. can.
1, 3, declared the sacrifice of the mass to be a true and propitiatory sacrifice for sin. I say, give up the cause; for the representation and commemoration of a sacrifice is not a sacrifice. Farther, it cannot be affirmed that the body of Christ is offered in the mass, unless it can be said that, as often as it is offered, Christ has suffered death; for the apostle says expressly, chap. ix. 25, 26, that if Christ offered himself often, he must often have suffered since the foundation of the world." Let him disprove this who can.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. Now where remission of these is , etc..] That is, of these sins; and that there is remission of them, is evident from this promise of the covenant, just now produced; from God's gracious proclamation of it; from the shedding of Christ's blood for it; from his exaltation at the Father's right hand to give it; from the Gospel declaration of it; and from the several instances of persons favoured with it: there is no more offering for sin ; there may be other offerings, as of praise and thanksgiving, but none for sin; there is no need, as the Syriac version; or there is not required, as the Arabic version; there is no need of the reiteration of Christ's sacrifice, nor will he be offered up any more, nor of the repetition of legal sacrifices, nor ought they to continue any longer.
The Jews themselves say f212 , that in the time to come (i.e. in the times of the Messiah) all offerings shall cease, but the sacrifice of praise.
And one of their writers says f213 , when the King Messiah, the son of David, shall reign, there will be no need of hrpk , an atonement, nor of deliverance, or prosperity, for all these things will be had; Ver. 19. Having therefore, brethren , etc..] As they were to the apostle, in a natural and civil sense, being Hebrews, as well as in a spiritual relation, being believers in Christ; which is observed, to testify his affection to them, and to engage their regard to the duties hereafter urged, particularly brotherly love, and to signify their common and equal right to the privilege next mentioned, which is boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus : the place saints have boldness to enter into is heaven, called the holiest, in reference to the holy of holies, in the tabernacle; which was a type of it, for the sacredness and invisibility of it, and for what was in it, went into it, or was brought thither; as the Shechinah, or divine Majesty, which resided there; the high priest who went into it once a year; the blood of sacrifices which was carried into it; the sweet incense; the ark of the testimony, in which was the law; and the mercy seat; all which were typical of Christ, his person, blood, sacrifice, righteousness, intercession, and the grace and mercy which come through him. Heaven was symbolically shut by the sin of man, when he was drove out of the garden of Eden; it was typically opened by the entrance of the high priest into the holy of holies, on the day of atonement; Christ has in person entered into it by his blood, and opened the way for his people; and believers in him may enter now, and they do, when they exercise grace on him, who is there, and when they come and present their prayers and praises to God by him; and they have now an actual right to enter into the place itself, and will hereafter enter in person: and the manner of their present entrance is, with boldness; which signifies their right unto it, the liberty granted them by God, and the liberty which they sometimes have in their own souls, and great courage and intrepidity of mind; which arises from a sense of remission of sins, as may be concluded from the connection of these words with the preceding; and is found to be true by experience; and such boldness is consistent with reverence, humility, and submission. The way of entrance is by the blood of Jesus; and which gives both entrance and boldness; for hereby sin is removed both from the sight of God, and the conscience of the believer; peace is made with God, and spoken to him; pardon is procured, law and justice satisfied, and neither to be feared, and the everlasting covenant confirmed.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-18 - Under the new covenant, or gospel dispensation, full and final pardo is to be had. This makes a vast difference between the new covenant an the old one. Under the old, sacrifices must be often repeated, an after all, only pardon as to this world was to be obtained by them Under the new, one Sacrifice is enough to procure for all nations an ages, spiritual pardon, or being freed from punishment in the world to come. Well might this be called a new covenant. Let none suppose tha human inventions can avail those who put them in the place of the sacrifice of the Son of God. What then remains, but that we seek a interest in this Sacrifice by faith; and the seal of it to our souls by the sanctification of the Spirit unto obedience? So that by the la being written in our hearts, we may know that we are justified, an that God will no more remember our sins.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
18. There is no more offering for sin. Forgiveness of sin is the characteristic of the new covenant. In Jer. complete pardon of sins is promised. If the pardon is complete, there is left no place for the Levitical sacrifices under the new covenant. At this point the doctrinal portion of the epistle ends.
