Denn wer da bittet, der empfängt; und wer da sucht, der findet; und wer da anklopft, dem wird aufgetan.
Porque cualquiera que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se abrirá.
Porque todo el que pide recibe; el que busca encuentra, y al que llama se le abrirá.
Car quiconque demande reçoit, celui qui cherche trouve, et l'on ouvre à celui qui frappe.
Perciocchè, chiunque chiede riceve, e chi cerca trova, e sarà aperto a chi picchia.
Porque, aquele que pede, recebe; e, o que busca, encontra; e, ao que bate, abrir-se-lhe-á.
因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就找到;叩門的,就給他開門。
