For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return." (NASB ©1995) GWT: Give, and you will receive. A large quantity, pressed together, shaken down, and running over will be put into your pocket. The standards you use for others will be applied to you."

For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
