“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.”
Through him, then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name — the new covenant sacrifice is offered (anaphero) continually (dia pantos): praise (ainos), the fruit of lips confessing (homologeo) God's name. Praise replaces animal sacrifice; mouth becomes altar.
