Δὲ, but) The opposite of the service to be rendered by love.-δάκνετε, ye bite) [backbite] in reference to character.-κατεσθίετε, devour) in regard to possessions [resources].-ἀναλωθῆτε, be consumed) strength of soul, health of body, character, and resources, are consumed by broils and sorrows. [Ah! how lamentable the extraordinary number of those, of whom the one cuts off the life of the other. Men of harsher disposition, careless and unthinking, consume others-those of softer disposition, silently swallow down (suppress the expression of) their anxiety, and die prematurely.-V. g.]
