Matthew 7:7–16
7 e“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For feveryone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 9 gOr what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If you then, hbeing 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!
12 Therefore, iwhatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for jthis is the Law and the Prophets.
13 k“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 3Because narrow is the gate and 4difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
15 l“Beware of false prophets, mwho come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 nYou will know them by their fruits. oDo men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
