Bible Quotes  
   
And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another: According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and according unto the number of years of the fruits he shall sell unto thee: According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the fewness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it: for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee. Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the LORD your God.
(Leviticus 25:14-17)

He that is surety for a stranger shall smart for it: and he that hateth suretiship is sure.

Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

(Matthew 5:25,26)

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Debtors and the Bible

The Bible neither expressly forbids nor allows the borrowing of money. The wisdom of the Bible teaches us that it is usually not a good idea to go into debt. Debts essentially makes us a slave to the one we owe. At the same time, in some situations going into debt is a “necessary evil.” As long as money is being handled in a wise way, and the debt payments are manageable, a Christian can take on the burden of financial debt if it is necessary.

Some people question the charging of any interest on loans, but several times in the Bible we see that a fair interest rate is expected to be received on borrowed money. "He who increases his wealth by exorbitant interest amasses it for another, who will be kind to the poor." Proverbs 28:8
"Well then, you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have received it back with interest." Matthew 25:27

In ancient Israel the Law did prohibit charging interest on one category of loans—those made to the poor. “ ‘If one of your countrymen becomes poor and is unable to support himself among you, help him as you would an alien or a temporary resident, so he can continue to live among you. 36 Do not take interest of any kind from him, but fear your God, so that your countryman may..." Leviticus 25:35-38

Paul's charge to us to owe nothing but love in Romans 13:8 is a powerful reminder of God's distaste for all forms of debt that are not being paid in a timely manner. "Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law."
"The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously". Psalms 37:21

The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus has paid our sin debt to God. Now, as we have opportunity, we can help others in need, particularly fellow believers, with loans that do not escalate their troubles. Jesus even gave a parable along these lines about two creditors and their attitude toward forgiveness". “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his ..." Matthew 18:23-358

Definition of Debtor

a person who is in debt or under financial obligation to another (opposed to creditor ).4     
          

 

Debtor

In economics a debtor is an entity that owes a debt to someone else. The entity may be an individual, a firm, a government, a company or other legal person. The counterparty is called a creditor. When the counterparty of this debt arrangement is a bank, the debtor is more often referred to as a borrower.9
