V. 14-15 — For here have are no continuing city, but we seek one to come. 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.
And let us be encouraged so to act by the consideration that here we have no continuing city, but we look for one to come, that city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. This verse is a parenthesis. The 15th verse is connected with the 13th. In it we are encouraged to go forth without the camp, bearing His reproach; and, in verse 15, are exhorted by him to offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, namely, the fruit of our lips, Hosea 14:2; Psalms 69:30-31; giving thanks to His name. As Israel approached God through their high priest, we are to approach through the great High Priest of our profession, for no man comes to the Father but by Him.
