4:24And he said to them, “Take care about what you hear. The measure you use will be the measure you receive,28 and more will be added to you. 4:25For whoever has will be given more, but29 whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him.”30

Footnotes

  1. 28 Grk “by [the measure] with which you measure it will be measured to you.”
  2. 29 Grk “and.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “but” to indicate the contrast present in this context.
  3. 30 What he has will be taken from him. The meaning is that the one who accepts Jesus’ teaching concerning his person and the kingdom will receive a share in the kingdom now and even more in the future, but for the one who rejects Jesus’ words, the opportunity that that person presently possesses with respect to the kingdom will someday be taken away forever.

NLTNew Living Translation

Then he added, “Pay close attention to what you hear. The closer you listen, the more understanding you will be given—and you will receive even more. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what little understanding they have will be taken away from them.”

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

And he said to them, “Take care what you hear! With the measure by which you measure out, it will be measured out to you, and will be added to you. For whoever has, more will be given to him, and whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

KJV 1900King James Version

And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.
