“Ask 1  and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door 2  will be opened for you.

NET © Notes

sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation here and in v. 8 for clarity.
