Luke 18:3-8
3There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘1Give 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 2respect man, 5yet 3because this widow bothers me, I will 4give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will 56wear me out.’” 6And 7the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge said; 7now, will not God 8bring about justice for His 9elect who cry to Him day and night, 10and will He 11delay long over them? 8I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, 12will He find 13faith on the earth?”
