‏ Luke 6:34

 If ye lend ( εαν δανισητε ). Third-class condition, first aorist active subjunctive from  δανιζω (old form  δανειζω ) to lend for interest in a business transaction (here in active to lend and Mt 5:42 middle to borrow and nowhere else in N.T.), whereas  κιχρημ (only Lu 11:5 in N.T.) means to loan as a friendly act.

 To receive again as much ( ινα απολαβωσιν τα ισα ). Second aorist active subjunctive of  απολαμβανω, old verb, to get back in full like  απεχω in 6:24. Literally here, "that they may get back the equal" (principal and interest, apparently). It could mean "equivalent services." No parallel in Matthew.
