'Ask' in the Bible

and I always ask in my prayers, if perhaps now at last I may succeed in visiting you according to the will of God.

You may ask me, "Then why does God still find fault with anybody? For who can resist his will?"

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, "Why did you make me like this?"

But I ask, “Did they not hear?” Yes, they did:Their voice has gone out to all the earth,and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.

But I ask, “Did Israel not understand?” First, Moses said:I will make you jealousof those who are not a nation;I will make you angry by a nationthat lacks understanding.

And Isaiah is very bold and says,“I was found by those who did not seek Me,I became manifest to those who did not ask for Me.”

I ask, then, has God rejected His people? Absolutely not! For I too am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, from the tribe of Benjamin.

I ask, then, have they stumbled in order to fall? Absolutely not! On the contrary, by their stumbling, salvation has come to the Gentiles to make Israel jealous.

For by the grace given to me I ask every one of you not to think of yourself more highly than you should think, rather to think of yourself with sober judgment on the measure of faith that God has assigned each of you.
