Patristic A.D. 735
“But he not only condemns as unprofitable the love and kindness of sinners, but also the lending. As it follows, And if ye lend to those from whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Luke, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 6:32-36
