"Ask, and it will be given
you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.
For everyone who asks
receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. Or who is there among you, who, if
his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, who
will give him a serpent? If you then, 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! Therefore whatever you desire for
men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the
prophets.
