KEEP ON ASKING:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version)

{Matthew 7:7-11} Jesus said:

7. "Keep on asking and it will be given you; keep on seeking and you will find; keep on knocking [reverently] and [the door] will be opened to you. 

8. For everyone who keeps on asking receives; and he who keeps on seeking finds; and to him who keeps on knocking [the door] will be opened. 

9. Or what man is there of you, if his son asks him a loaf of bread, will hand him a stone?

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

11. If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good and advantageous gifts to your children, how much more will your Father Who is in heaven [perfect as He is] give good and advantageous things to those who keep on asking Him!

HOU AAN VRA:

2. Afrikaans - Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling:

{Matthéüs 7:7-11}  Jesus het gesê:

8. Want elkeen wat bid, ontvang; en hy wat soek, vind; en vir hom wat klop sal oopgemaak word. 

9. Of watter mens is daar onder julle wat, as sy seun hom brood vra, aan hom 'n klip sal gee; 

10. En as hy 'n vis vra, aan hom 'n slang sal gee?

11. As julle wat sleg is, dan weet om goeie gawes aan julle kinders te gee, hoeveel te meer sal julle Vader wat in die hemele is, goeie dinge gee aan die wat Hom bid!
