⁷ Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking and will be opened to you. ⁸ For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking, will be opened. ⁹ Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him for a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he asks for a fish, will hand him a serpent? ¹¹ If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!
