Hebrews 13:15

Sacrifice, Obedience, and Prayer

14For here we do not have a permanent city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.15Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.16And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
