³⁴ And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you?^(A) Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full.

⁴² Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.^(A)

¹² Then Jesus said to his host, “When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. ¹³ But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,^{(A) 14} and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”^(B)

³⁵ But love your enemies, do good to them,^(A) and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children^(B) of the Most High,^(C) because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

⁸ Rather, be openhanded^(A) and freely lend them whatever they need. ⁹ Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: “The seventh year, the year for canceling debts,^(B) is near,” so that you do not show ill will^(C) toward the needy among your fellow Israelites and give them nothing. They may then appeal to the Lord against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.^{(D) 10} Give generously to them and do so without a grudging heart;^(E) then because of this the Lord your God will bless^(F) you in all your work and in everything you put your hand to. ¹¹ There will always be poor people^(G) in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land.^(H)
