For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.

for every one who is asking doth receive; and he who is seeking doth find; and to him who is knocking it shall be opened.

For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.

For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.

For everyone who asks, receives. And whoever seeks, finds. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.

For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.

For every one that asketh receiveth,.... Some indeed ask and receive not, because they ask amiss, James 4:3 who either apply to a wrong person, or ask in a wrong manner, or from wrong principles, or with wrong ends in view: but when a man is right in the object of prayer, and in the matter and manner of prayer, and in the end he proposes to himself, let him be what he will, of whatsoever nation, or ever mean a person, he has the petitions which he asks, either immediately, or, at least, he may be assured he shall have them in God's due time:
and he that seeketh findeth; whoever not only prays, but makes use of means, as attendance on other ordinances, and is diligent in the use of them, sooner or later finds his account herein, and what his soul seeks for:
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened; not only who prays heartily, and seeks diligently, but who is importunate, and will have no denial; continues knocking; though there may be some time a seeming delay, yet the door will not always be shut to him; after much knocking it will be opened; See Gill on Matthew 7:8
