The complete unit establishes this movement: Every priest stands repeatedly, but Christ offers one sacrifice and sits at God's right hand, awaiting the defeat of enemies; one offering has completed for enduring access those being sanctified, and the Holy Spirit's Jeremiah promise of internal law and forgotten sins confirms that no further sin offering remains.
