This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
7:7 Requesting, searching, and knocking
7 “Make your requests and they’ll be given to you. Keep looking and you’ll find it. Knock on doors and they’ll be opened. 8 Because everyone who makes requests, receives, and everyone who searches will find, and the door will be opened for the one knocking. 9 Which one of you who has a child that asks for something to eat would give them a stone? 10 Or if the child asked for some fish, who would give them a snake? 11 So 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.
9 So this is what I’m telling you: Keep submitting your requests and it’ll be given to you all, keep searching and you’ll all find what you’re looking for, keep knocking and the door will be opened for you all, 10 because everyone who requests will receive, and everyone who searches will find, and everyone who knocks will have opened doors. 11 How many of you fathers, if your child asked you for some fish, and instead of that you’d give them a snake? 12 Or the child would ask for an egg and you’d pass them a scorpion? 13 So if you all know how to give good things to your children despite your being evil, how much more the father in heaven will give the holy spirit to those who ask him.”
