38 Give, and it will be given to you. They will [a]pour (A)into your lap a (B)good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”

The Message
37-38 “Don’t pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. Don’t condemn those who are down; that hardness can boomerang. Be easy on people; you’ll find life a lot easier. Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.”
