Matthew 7:7

The Sermon On The Mount: Ask, Seek, Knock

⁶ Do not give holy things to the dogs (impure persons) (false prophets) (Matthew 7:15). Do not throw your pearls before swine (the most unclean). They will trample them under their feet and turn and tear you to pieces. ⁷ “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. ⁸ Everyone who asks receives. Everyone who seeks finds, and everyone who knocks will have it opened.
