Matthew 7:6-8

International Standard Version

Despising the Holy

⁶ “Never give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs. Otherwise, they will trample them with their feet and then turn around and attack you.”

Ask, Search, Knock^(A)

⁷ “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door^[a] will be opened for you. ⁸ Because everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door^[b] opened.
