Luke 11:8-10

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁸I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

⁹So I say to you, Ask and ^[a]keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and ^[b]keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and ^[c]keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.

¹⁰For everyone who asks and ^[d]keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and ^[e]keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and ^[f]keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.
