Genesis 10:1-5 and Matthew 7:7-14 (NIV)


Genesis 10:1-5
1  This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japheth, Noah’s sons, who themselves had sons after the flood.   The Japhethites
2  The sons of Japheth:  Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshek and Tiras.   Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah.
3  The sons of Gomer: 
4  The sons of Javan:  Elishah, Tarshish, the Kittites and the Rodanites. 
5  (From these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language.)

Matthew 7:7-13
Ask, Seek, Knock

7    “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 
8    For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.   
9    “Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? 
10  Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 
11  If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 
12  So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
The Narrow and Wide Gates
13  “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14  But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
