Significance: Closes inclusio around 8:3-10:18 (section on superior offering). Now focuses specifically on "I will remember their sins no more" to emphasize decisiveness of Christ's sacrifice for sins. Where there is forgiveness, no more offering for sin needed (10:18). The selective repetition highlights the key accomplishment—complete, unrepeatable forgiveness. God's "remembering" sins no more means they are dealt with finally, validating the claim that Christ's once-for-all sacrifice perfects for all time those being sanctified (10:14).
