6:30Give to everyone who asks you,98 and do not ask for your possessions99 back100 from the person who takes them away. 6:31Treat others101 in the same way that you would want them to treat you.102
Footnotes
- 98 Jesus advocates a generosity and a desire to meet those in dire need with the command give to everyone who asks you. This may allude to begging; giving alms was viewed highly in the ancient world (Matt 6:1–4; Deut 15:7–11).
- 99 Grk “your things,” sometimes translated “what is yours” or “what belongs to you.”
- 100 Do not ask for your possessions back … is an example of showing forgiveness. Paul’s remarks in 1 Cor 6:7 may reflect this principle.
- 101 This is a generic use of ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos), referring to both males and females.
- 102 Jesus’ teaching as reflected in the phrase treat others in the same way you would want them to treat you, known generally as the Golden Rule, is not completely unique in the ancient world, but it is stated here in its most emphatic, selfless form.
