'Once' in the Bible
Therefore, since it is still true that some will enter it, and since those who once heard the good news failed to enter it because of their disobedience,
and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,
For it is impossible to keep on restoring to repentance time and again people who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have become partners with the Holy Spirit,
He has no need to offer sacrifices every day like high priests do, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this once for all when he sacrificed himself.
But only the high priest went into the second part, and then only once a year, and never without blood, which he offered for himself and for the sins committed by the people in ignorance.
Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with his own blood he went into the Most Holy Place once for all and secured our eternal redemption.
Then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the creation of the world. But now, at the end of the ages, he has appeared once for all to remove sin by his sacrifice.
Indeed, just as people are destined to die once and after that to be judged,
so the Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people. And he will appear a second time, not to deal with sin, but to bring salvation to those who eagerly wait for him.
Otherwise, would they not have stopped offering them, because the worshipers, cleansed once for all, would no longer be aware of any sins?
By God's will we have been sanctified once and for all through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus, the Messiah.
At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, "Once more I will shake not only the earth but also heaven."
The expression "once more" signifies the removal of what can be shaken, that is, what he has made, so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
