OT-PROPHET-MINOR.filter - rwp gratitude:

rwp@Hebrews:13:15 @{Through him} (\di' autou\). That is Jesus. He is our Priest and Sacrifice, the only efficient and sufficient one. {Let us offer up} (\anaphermen\). Present active volitive subjunctive of \anapher\, "let us keep on offering up." Jesus is living and let us go to him. {A sacrifice of praise} (\thusian aineses\). This phrase occurs in strkjv@Leviticus:7:12; strkjv@Psalms:54:8|. The word \ainesis\ (from \aine\, to praise), common in LXX, is only here in N.T. {The fruit of lips} (\karpon cheilen\). In apposition (\tout 'estin\) and explanation of \thusian aineses\. Cf. strkjv@Hosea:14:3; strkjv@Isaiah:57:19|. {Which made confession to his name} (\homologountn ti onomati autou\). This use of \homologe\ with the dative in the sense of praise like \exomologe\ is unique, though the papyri furnish examples in the sense of gratitude (Moulton and Milligan, _Vocabulary_).
