Mat 5:42 | MHM | STEP | v. 42 : Jesus says, Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you (Matthew 5:42 ). This means we should be generous and ready to help others, not just avoid doing harm. When someone is in need, we should give and lend freely, as long as we are wise and careful. God is generous to us, so we should also be generous to others (Psalm 112:5 ).
