Matthew 7:11

The Sermon On The Mount: Ask, Seek, Knock

¹⁰ Or if he asks a fish, will he give him a snake? ¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father in Heaven give good things to those who ask Him? ¹² Therefore all things, whatever you desire that men should do to you, do even so to them; for this is the Law and the Prophets.
