Luke 11:9-13, New Living Translation
9 "And so I tell you, keep on asking, and you will be given what you ask for. Keep on looking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened.
10 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And the door is opened to everyone who knocks.
11 "You fathers—if your children ask[3][Some manuscripts add for bread, do you give them a stone? Or if they ask. ] for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?
12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not!
13 If you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him."
