7:7 Requesting, searching, and knocking

(Luke 11:9-13)

7Make your requests and they’ll be given to you. Keep looking and you’ll find it. Knock on doors and they’ll be opened. 8Because everyone who makes requests, receives, and everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for the one knocking. 9Which one of you who has a child that asks for something to eat would give them a stone? 10Or if the child asked for some fish, who would give them a snake? 11So if evil people know how to give good gifts to their children, how much more will your father in the heavens give good things to those who are making their requests to him?

12[ref]So in every area, whatever you’d like others to be doing for all of you, that’s how you should also be treating them.


7Be_requesting and it_will_be_being_given to_you_all, be_seeking and you_all_will_be_finding, be_knocking and it_will_be_being_opened_up to_you_all.
8For/Because everyone which requesting is_receiving, and the one seeking is_finding, and to_the one knocking it_will_be_being_opened_up.
9Or which a_person is of you_all, whom the son of_him will_be_requesting a_loaf, not will_be_handing_out a_stone to_him?
10Or also will_be_requesting a_fish, not will_be_handing_out a_serpent to_him?
11Therefore if you_all being evil, have_known to_be_giving good gifts to_the children of_you_all, to_how_much more the father of_you_all who is in the heavens will_be_giving good things to_the ones requesting him?
12Therefore all things, if as_many_as you_all_may_be_wanting that the people may_be_doing to_you_all, thus you_all also be_doing to_them.
For/Because this is the law and the prophets.
