(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Through him (di' autou). That is Jesus. He is our Priest and Sacrifice, the only efficient and sufficient one.

Let us offer up (anapherōmen). Present active volitive subjunctive of anapherō, “let us keep on offering up.” Jesus is living and let us go to him.

A sacrifice of praise (thusian aineseōs). This phrase occurs in Lev 7:12; Psalm 54:8. The word ainesis (from aineō, to praise), common in lxx, is only here in N.T.

The fruit of lips (karpon cheileōn). In apposition (tout 'estin) and explanation of thusian aineseōs. Cf. Hos 14:3; Isa 57:19.

Which made confession to his name (homologountōn tōi onomati autou). This use of homologeō with the dative in the sense of praise like exomologeō is unique, though the papyri furnish examples in the sense of gratitude (Moulton and Milligan, Vocabulary).
