The basic teaching is found in the Hebrew Scriptures. The Jewish people were not allowed to charge interest to fellow Jews, but they were allowed to charge interest to non Jews.
It is obvious from this that borrowing and lending were allowed among the Hebrew people, but charging interest was not. Lending to non Jews was allowed as was charging interest.

∙ 12y agoAccording to The Bible, loaning to those in need in the Christian congregation, WITHOUT INTEREST, is a kindness, and an obligation if we are in a position to do it (Proverbs 3:27-28)(James 2:14-17), but it must be done with care(Matthew 5:42)(Leviticus 25:36)(Deuteronomy 23:19)(Matthew 18:23-35). The borrower must be very aware of his obligation, and what he owes must be paid back as soon as possible. Romans 13:8 tells Christians "Do not YOU people be owing anybody a single thing, except to love one another..." and Psalm 37:21 tells us that it's the wicked one who is borrowing and does not pay back...".
