Exegesis
In the explanatory clause tout estin {τοῦτʼ ἔστιν | toût é-stin}, the “sacrifice of praise” is redefined as karpon cheileōn homologountōn {καρπὸν χειλέων ὁμολογούντων | kar-pón khei-lé-ōn ho-mo-lo-goún-tōn}, literally “fruit of lips confessing,” where the genitive cheileōn indicates the source and the participle denotes continuous public affirmation.
In context — Hebrews 13:15
Therefore, through Him , let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God ; that is, the fruit of lips that openly affirm His name .
