 13henceforth waiting until his enemies be set as footstool of his feet.
 14For by one offering he hath perfected continuously the sanctified. (Heb. 10:1‑14)

a
It may be "unto," "for," or "up to" which appears safest, though the temporal meaning is often legitimate, whether an epoch, or point as "until," or a period as "for." But it is even more frequently used ethically for aim, state or effect, and result, as the case may require. There is no need of inserting "to bring us" where "up to," or "unto," is better than "until," as expressive of the object in view, and not of a temporal limit only.
