Matthew 7:11

The Sermon On The Mount: Ask, Seek, Knock

¹⁰ Who will give him a serpent when he asks for a fish? ¹¹ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! ¹² Do for others the same as you would have them to do for you. That is the meaning of the Law and the Prophets.
