SCRIPTURE

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

And give to every man that asketh
(See Gill on Matthew 5:42)

And of him that taketh away thy goods ;
not by force, but by consent, having either lent them, or sold them to him: for if they were taken away by force, the person so taking them was to be deemed a thief and a robber, and to be treated as such; but one that takes them by agreement, and is not able to make a return of them, or to give a valuable consideration for them, of such an one ask them not again: do not exact or demand them, but give him a release, as the law requires, in (Deuteronomy 15:2) which seems to be respected here; and where the same word is used by the Septuagint, as here.
