⁷ "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. ⁸ For it is always he who asks that receives, he who seeks that finds, and he who knocks that has the door opened to him.

⁹ "So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.' ¹⁰ For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened. ¹¹ And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake? ¹² or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion? ¹³ If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"

¹⁰ "If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

⁹ But people who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many unwise and pernicious ways which sink mankind in destruction and ruin. ¹⁰ For from love of money all sorts of evils arise; and some have so hankered after money as to be led astray from the faith and be pierced through with countless sorrows.

⁵ 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.

¹ Come, you rich men, weep aloud and howl for your sorrows which will soon be upon you. ² Your treasures have rotted, and your piles of clothing are moth-eaten; ³ your gold and your silver have become covered with rust, and the rust on them will give evidence against you, and will eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded up wealth in these last days. ⁴ I tell you that the pay of the labourers who have gathered in your crops--pay which you are keeping back--is calling out against you; and the outcries of those who have been your reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of the armies of Heaven. ⁵ Here on earth you have lived self-indulgent and profligate lives.
