“Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:37-38
“Giving and forgiving are answered by the generosity of God. The most thought-provoking proposition is that God uses as the measure for the response to humans the measure they use in their relations with each other.”
Luke Timothy Johnson in The Gospel of Luke (Collegeville, MN: Sacra Pagina, 1991) 116.
