Matthew 7:7-14

Ask, and It Will Be Given

7 aAsk, band it will be given to you; cseek, and you will find; dknock, and it will be opened to you. 8For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9Or which one of you, if his son asks him for ebread, will give him fa stone? 10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11If you then, gwho are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will hyour Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

The Golden Rule

12So iwhatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is jthe Law and the Prophets.

13 kEnter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy
Some manuscripts  For the way is wide and easy
that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many.
14For the gate is narrow and mthe way is hard that leads to life, and nthose who find it are few.
