Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

(Universalists, please note the middle and latter parts of that – it doesn’t say merely “take away sins” nor “take away the sins of all”. To whom he brings salvation is also specified.)
