Mt 7, Verses 7–8English original
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
(Serm. in Mont. ii. 21.) There is need moreover of perseverance, that we may receive what we ask for.
