The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn
again and rend you.
MAT 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock,
and it shall be opened unto you:
MAT 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh
findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
MAT 7:9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he
give him a stone?
MAT 7:10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
MAT 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good
