³⁰‘And to every one who is asking of thee, be giving; and from him who is taking away thy goods, be not asking again; ³¹and as ye wish that men may do to you, do ye also to them in like manner; ³²and—if ye love those loving you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful love those loving them; ³³and if ye do good to those doing good to you, what grace have ye? for also the sinful do the same; ³⁴and if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.

“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to get back the same amount.

Even sinners lend to sinners, so that they may get back an equal amount!

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
