Exegesis
The prepositional phrase hyper tēs psychēs mou {ὑπὲρ τῆς ψυχῆς μου | hypèr tês psukhês mou} uses hyper with the genitive to express acting "for the sake of" or "on behalf of" Paul's very life, where psychē {ψυχή | psukhḗ} denotes his life as a whole person.
In context — Romans 16:4
Who for my life laid down their own neck, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles .
