³⁸ Give (unforced giving, yelled deliver, supply), and it shall be given unto you; good (beautiful, exquisite, genuine, perfection) measure (measure of content, standard), pressed down (made compact), and shaken together, and running over (overflow), shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure (measure of content, standard) that ye mete (to measure) withal it shall be measured to you again.
