# ask ... seek, and you will find ... knock
# ask ... seek, and you will find; knock
Jesus gives these commands to encourage his disciples to pray continually. Some languages may also require more information with these verbs. Use the form of "you" that would be most appropriate in this context. Alternate translation: "keep asking for what you need ... keep seeking what you need from God, and you will find it ... keep knocking on the door" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit]])

# it will be given to you
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "God will give it to you" or "you will receive it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# knock
To knock at a door is to hit it a few times to let a person inside the house know you are standing outside. It can also be translated using the way people in your culture show that they have arrived, such as "call out" or "cough" or "clap." Here, it means a person should keep praying to God until he answers. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
