Luke 6:32 Context
30Giue to euery man that asketh of thee, and of him that taketh away thy goods, aske them not againe. 31And as yee would that men should doe to you, doe yee also to them likewise. 32For if yee loue them which loue you, what thanke haue ye? for sinners also loue those that loue them. 33And if ye doe good to them which doe good to you, What thanke haue ye? for sinners also doe euen the same. 34And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receiue, What thanke haue ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receiue as much againe.

Wesley's Notes for Luke 6:32
6:32 It is greatly observable, our Lord has so little regard for one of the highest instances of natural virtue, namely, the returning love for love, that he does not account it even to deserve thanks. For even sinners, saith he, do the same: men who do not regard God at all. Therefore he may do this, who has not taken one step in Christianity.
