“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.”
And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full — the lending parallel: lending with expectation of repayment is normal commercial practice that anyone performs. The kingdom's generosity is the lending that does not expect repayment — the economic form of the love that does not expect reciprocity.
