Matthew 7:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 ¶ [a]Give ye not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your [b]pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and turning again, all to rent you.
7 ¶ (A)[c]Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
8 For whosoever asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
