Neither a Borrower Nor a Lender Be

by Bible or Not

Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

What kind of word is “hubandry” anyway? Is this a Bible verse?

3 Bible or Not { 06.28.12 at 8:33 pm }: I don’t know that there is anything you can do, as we should not be in the business of changes others – we pray and God does the changing. Sometimes He will change them, and sometimes He will change us. You may want to consider speaking to your pastor if this is becoming a problem in the church. And in all things, lead with love and compassion.
