Sermon on the mount: encouragement to pray |
|
Mt 7:7 ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: Mt 21:22; Mr 11:24; Lu 11:9-10; 18:1; Joh 14:13; 15:7; 16:23-24; Jas 1:5-6; 1Jo 3:22; 5:14-15 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Pr 8:17; Jer 29:12-13 9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Lu 11:11-13 10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Ge 6:5; 8:21 12 ¶ Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Le 19:18; Mt 22:40; Lu 6:31; Ro 13:8-10; Ga 5:14; 1Ti 1:5 |
