Matthew 7:7-11 ISV    "Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened for you. (8) For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened. (9) "There isn't a person among you who would give his son a stone if he asked for bread, is there? (10) Or if he asks for a fish, he wouldn't give him a snake, would he? (11) So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who keep on asking him!

Matthew 7:7-11 NWT    “Keep on asking, and it will be given YOU; keep on seeking, and YOU will find; keep on knocking, and it will be opened to YOU. 8 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking it will be opened. 9 Indeed, who is the man among YOU whom his son asks for bread—he will not hand him a stone, will he? 10 Or, perhaps, he will ask for a fish—he will not hand him a serpent, will he? 11 Therefore, if YOU, although being wicked, know how to give good gifts to YOUR children, how much more so will YOUR Father who is in the heavens give good things to those asking him?

Matthew 7:7-11 GNB    "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. (8) For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock. (9) Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread? (10) Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish? (11) As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
