2 Corinthians 12:15

I will . . . spend—all I have.

be spent—all that I am. This is more than even natural parents do. They "lay up treasures for their children." But I spend not merely my treasures, but myself.

for you—Greek, "for your souls"; not for your mere bodies.

the less I be loved—Love rather descends than ascends [BENGEL]. Love him as a true friend who seeks your good more than your good will.
