Mt 7, Verses 9–11English original
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? 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?
Because in comparison of God who is preeminently good, all men seem to be evil, as all light shews dark when compared with the sun.
