7 " 7:7 Or Keep asking Ask, and it will be given to you; 7:7 Or keep seeking seek, and you will find; 7:7 Or keep knocking knock, and it will be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.9 Or what person is there among you 7:9 Lit whom his son will askwho, when his son asks for a loaf of bread, 7:9 Lit he will not give him a stone, will he?will give him a stone?10 Or 7:10 Lit also will askif he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?11 So if you, despite being 7:11 I.e., as sinful mankindevil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
