8Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
9Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone?
10Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake?
11If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?
12All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.
13Go in by the narrow door; for wide is the door and open is the way which goes to destruction, and great numbers go in by it.
14For narrow is the door and hard the road to life, and only a small number make discovery of it.
