John Chrysostom, on Heb 13:15

“By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise always to God, that is to say, the fruit of lips confessing to his name.”

“"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." "By Him," as by an High Priest, according to the flesh. "Giving thanks" (he says) "to His Name." Let us utter nothing blasphemous, nothing hasty, nothing bold, nothing presumptuous, nothing desperate. This is "with reverence and godly fear." (c. xii. 28.) For a soul in tribulations becomes desponding, and reckless. But let not us be so. See here he again says the same thing which he said before, "not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together," for so shall we be able to do all things with reverence. For oftentimes even out of respect for men, we refrain from doing many evil things.”
