Luke 6:34-36
“If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive back as much. But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing back; and your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.”
