'Open' in the Bible

Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

And if any one of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask God for it, who gives with open hand to all men, and without upbraiding; and it will be given him.

For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

Keep open house for all with a glad heart;

Be serious and keep watch; the Evil One, who is against you, goes about like a lion with open mouth in search of food;

For so the way will be open to you into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
