6:38Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over,122 will be poured123 into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.”124
Footnotes
- 122 The background to the image pressed down, shaken together, running over is pouring out grain for measure in the marketplace. One often poured the grain into a container, shook it to level out the grain and then poured in some more. Those who are generous have generosity running over for them.
- 123 Grk “they will give”; that is, “pour.” The third person plural has been replaced by the passive in the translation.
- 124 Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured back to you.”
