KJV ORIGINAL
For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
If Jesus had to keep offering himself over and over, he would've been suffering constantly since the world began. But that's not how it works — he showed up once at the right moment in history and dealt with sin completely by sacrificing himself.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Jesus didn't need a do-over — one sacrifice handled everything, once and for all.
