Matthew 7:7-14

7“Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.

8Everyone who asks will receive. The one who searches will find, and for the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9“If your child asks you for bread, would any of you give him a stone?

10Or if your child asks for a fish, would you give him a snake?

11Even though you’re evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him?

12“Always do for other people everything you want them to do for you. That is ⌞the meaning of⌟ Moses’ Teachings and the Prophets.

13“Enter through the narrow gate because the gate and road that lead to destruction are wide. Many enter through the wide gate.

14But the narrow gate and the road that lead to life are full of trouble. Only a few people find the narrow gate.
