Luke 6:38

δίδοτε : this form of mercy is suggested by Matthew 7:2, ἐν ᾧ μέτρῳ μετρεῖτε, etc.: be giving, implying a constant habit, and therefore a generous nature. μέτρον καλὸν, good, generous measure; these words and those which follow apply to man's giving as well as to the recompense with which the generous giver shall be rewarded. πεπιεσμένον, etc., pressed down, shaken, and overflowing; graphic epexegesis of good measure, all the terms applicable to dry goods, e.g., grain. Bengel takes the first as referring to dry (in aridis), the second to soft (in mollibus), the third to liquids (in liquidis). κόλπον : probably the loose bosom of the upper robe gathered in at the waist, useful for carrying things (De Wette, Holtz., H. C., al.). It is implied that God gives so, e.g., “plenteous redemption” (Psalms 130:7).
