A.T. Robertson Commentary Luke 6:30

"Give to every one that asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again." — Luke 6:30 (ASV)

Ask them not again (μη απαιτε). Here the present active imperative in a prohibition, do not have the habit of asking back. This common verb only here in the N.T., for αιτουσιν is the correct text in Lu 12:20. The literary flavour of Luke's Koine style is seen in his frequent use of words common in the literary Greek, but appearing nowhere else in the N.T.
