• It is well to judge oneself for one's sins; but God will act according to His estimate of Christ's death for us. (“Hebrews 9:23-28” by W. Kelly)
• Christ's one offering at His first advent was to bear the sins of many, i.e. of the believers. Hence when He comes a second time, He has no more to do with sin, having already been a sacrifice for but apart from it. He shall appear to those that await Him, solely His own, and not mankind indiscriminately, not for judgment but for salvation, which is in contrast with it, as distinctly as eternal life is in John 5. (“Hebrews 9:23-28” by W. Kelly)
• This result is announced to the believer—to those who are looking for the Lord’s return. Death and judgment are the lot of men as children of Adam. Christ has been offered once to bear the sins of many; and “unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation,” not to judgment. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The work is before God in all its value, but the sin still exists in the believer and in the world. Faith owns both, knows that in God’s sight it is done, and rests as God does in it, but the believer knows that sin is still, de facto, there and in him: only he has a title to reckon himself dead to it. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• The word “many” has a double bearing here, negative and positive. It could not be said “all,” or all would be saved. On the other hand, the word “many” generalizes the work, so that it is not the Jews only who are its object. (“Hebrews 9” by J.N. Darby)
• Sin having been dealt with at His first appearing, His second appearing will be wholly for the salvation of His people from a world of sin and the power of the enemy. (“The New Sanctuary: Hebrews 9:24-28” by H. Smith)

thus the Christ also, having been once offered to bear the sins of many, shall appear to those that look for him the second time withouti sin for salvation.

JND Translation Notes

i
"Apart from," having nothing more to do with it. The first time He bore our sins, and was made sin (being sinless); but now, having put sins wholly away for them who look for Him, and having made them partakers of the whole fruit of his sacrifice to put sin away, He appears to them without having to say, or need to have anything to say, to it. It is gone, as regards them, by his first coming.

W. Kelly Translation

28
so also the Christ, having been once offered to bear sins of many, shall appear a second time apart from sin to those that look for him unto salvation.
