Exegesis
The exhortation begins with the prepositional phrase dia autou {διʼ αὐτοῦ | diá au-toû} preceding the inferential oun {οὖν | oûn} to highlight mediation “through Him,” referring back to Christ.
The final dative tō onomati autou {τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ | tôi o-nó-ma-ti au-toû} specifies the focus of confession—“His name”—with the dative expressing the object toward which the confession is directed. The translation preserves Greek emphasis by fronting mediation, specifying the continuous nature of the act, and maintaining the content-focused appositional clause.
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 .
