{Through him} (di' autou). That is Jesus. He is our
Priest and Sacrifice, the only efficient and sufficient one. {Let
us offer up} (anapher(936d)en). Present active volitive subjunctive
of anapher(935c), "let us keep on offering up." Jesus is living and
let us go to him. {A sacrifice of praise} ( husian ainese(9373)).
This phrase occurs in Le 7:12 Ps 54:8 . The word ainesis
(from aine(935c), to praise), common in LXX, is only here in N.T.
{The fruit of lips} (karpon cheile(936e)). In apposition ( out
'estin) and explanation of husian ainese(9373). Cf. Ho 14:3 Isa
57:19 . {Which made confession to his name} (homologount(936e) t(9369)
onomati autou). This use of homologe(935c) with the dative in the
sense of praise like exomologe(935c) is unique, though the papyri
furnish examples in the sense of gratitude (Moulton and Milligan,
_Vocabulary_).
