Continual Praise

Hebrews 13:15-25 (NASB)
15  Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.
16  And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.
17  Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls as those who will give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with grief, for this would be unprofitable for you.
18  Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a good conscience, desiring to conduct ourselves honorably in all things.
19  And I urge you all the more to do this, so that I may be restored to you the sooner.
20  Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord,
21  equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
22  But I urge you, brethren, bear with this word of exhortation, for I have written to you briefly.
23  Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.
24  Greet all of your leaders and all the saints. Those from Italy greet you.
25  Grace be with you all.
