Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,
But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
