Matthew 7:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 7:7

5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 ^a“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking

7 ^a“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

8 For ^aeveryone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 ^aOr what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, ^abeing evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 Therefore, ^awhatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for ^bthis is the Law and the Prophets.
