The Spiritual metric system.

In keeping with  the message of mercy, our Lord lays out literally a spiritual metric system. "  Judge not that you be not judged, " why? " for with  what measure (metrw) you  measure it shall be measured to you again (antmetrithesetai) As the austeros kritis who weighs us finds us wanting in no uncertain terms  He says the measure of our judgment is lessened by the measure of mercy we show. "blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy"  Or as St.  Jacovos  says," He shall have judgment without mercy who has showed no  mercy and mercy triumphs against judgment."
 It is really the reverse  of the lex telones- the principle of an eye for an eye.  As we show grace-  give grace - God gives grace to us.  And of course this is what the prologue of St.  John's gospel  says.
"And  from  His fullness (of grace)  have all we received" how?"and grace  instead of (anti) grace."
  You sow grace, you reap grace, sow mercy reap it. Sow to the Spirit,  reap  life everlasting (Gal.6:7-10)
