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.

(34) If you lend from whom you expect to receive, what favorable-grace becomes to you? Deviators also lend to deviators to receive equally?

[34] If you only lend to those who can repay you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to other sinners, expecting full repayment.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
and if ye lend to those of whom ye hope to receive back, what grace have ye? for also the sinful lend to sinners—that they may receive again as much.
