Luke 18:1-8

1Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they 1ought to pray and not to 2lose heart, 2saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not 3respect man. 3There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘4Give me legal protection from my opponent.’ 4For a while he was unwilling; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor 5respect man, 5yet 6because this widow bothers me, I will 7give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will 89wear me out.’” 6And 10the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; 7now, will not God 11bring about justice for His 12elect who cry to Him day and night, 13and will He 14delay long over them? 8I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, 15will He find 16faith on the earth?”
