Matthew 7:11

Context
7:11 If you then, although you are evil, 1  know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts 2  to those who ask him!

Matthew 19:17

Context
19:17 He said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

1 tn The participle ὄντες (ontes) has been translated concessively.

2 sn The provision of the good gifts is probably a reference to the wisdom and guidance supplied in response to repeated requests. The teaching as a whole stresses not that we get everything we want, but that God gives the good that we need.
