On Borrowing

. Do not turn away from the borrower

Matthew 5:42

Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

. You will borrow from none

Deuteronomy 28:12

The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse  of his bounty,  to send rain  on your land in season and to bless  all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.

. Borrowing in the part of cure

Deuteronomy 28:15

However, if you do not obey  the Lord your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today,  all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

Deuteronomy 28:44

They will lend to you, but you will not lend to them.  They will be the head, but you will be the tail.

. The wicked borrow and pay not

Psalm 37:21

The wicked borrow and do not repay,

 but the righteous give generously;

. Wisdom required in borrowing

Deuteronomy 15:3

You may require payment from a foreigner,  but you must cancel any debt your fellow Israelite owes you.

. Let no debt remain. 

Romans 13:8

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
