Matthew 7:7

The Sermon On The Mount: Ask, Seek, Knock

⁶ Do not give that which is holy to the dogs, or put your jewels before pigs, for fear that they will be crushed under foot by the pigs whose attack will then be made against you. ⁷ Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you: ⁸ Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
