Matthew 7:7

Ask, Seek, Knock

7 “Ask ^{▼▼ The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.} and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door ^{▼▼ Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation here and in v. 8 for clarity.} will be opened for you.
