"Be more of help;/, …!/."?

1. Be more of help; be of no reward.
2. Be more of help, be of no reward.
3. Be more of help; be of no reward!
4. Be more of help, be of no reward!

Did I punctuate them correctly, please? I am not sure of "more of" and "of more"? Which one comes first, please?

Odessa Dawn Did I punctuate them correctly, please? No, and you did not phrase them correctly, either. I suppose that this is what you are trying to say: Be more helpful and don't always expect a reward.

This has the moral tone of a maxim.

Be of more help; expect no reward.
