Luke 6:38 in context
The whole interlinear chapter
Luke 6:37      Luke 6:39

Luke 6:38

Give [make it a habit to be generous],
and you will receive (and it will be given to you).
A good (generous) measure, [well] packed,
shaken and overflowing (abundant)
shall be put (given) into your bosom [cloak].
For with the measure you use [usually use],
it will [also] be measured to you." [At the market, the wheat was poured into a measure, which was then shaken to level it off. If the seller was generous, he would then fill the measure even more so that it overflowed. The buyer could use his "bosom" (the upper part of his cloak), where the wide fabric was naturally shaped like a hollowed-out pocket with the help of the belt.]
