New King James Version

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking^(A)

⁷^(B)“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸For ^(C)everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. ⁹^(D)Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? ¹¹If you then, ^(E)being evil, 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! ¹²Therefore, ^(F)whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for ^(G)this is the Law and the Prophets.
