Matthew 7:7-11
• 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
• 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be
opened.
• 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask
bread, will he give him a stone?
• 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
• 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children, how much more shall your Father
which is in heaven give good things to them that ask
him?
