Matthew 7:7-12

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha CEBA

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

8 For everyone who asks, receives. Whoever seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door is opened.

9 Who among you will give your children a stone when they ask for bread?

10 Or give them a snake when they ask for fish?

11 If you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.

12 Therefore, you should treat people in the same way that you want people to treat you; this is the Law and the Prophets.

New International Version NIV

7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

12 So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
