7Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.9Or what man is there among you whom, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?10Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a snake?11If therefore you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him!12So in all things—as many as you might wish that people do to you—do the same to them; for this is the Law and the prophets.
