Luke 18:1-7
1NowG1161 He was tellingG3004 them a parableG3850 to show that at allG3842 timesG3842 they 1oughtG1163 to prayG4336 and not to 2loseG1457 heartG1457,
2sayingG3004, “In a certainG5100 cityG4172 thereG1510 was a judgeG2923 who did not fearG5399 GodG2316 and did not 3respectG1788 manG444.
3There was a widowG5503 in that cityG4172, and she kept comingG2064 to him, sayingG3004, ‘4GiveG1556 me legalG1556 protectionG1556 from my opponentG476.’
4For a whileG5550 he was unwillingG3756G2309; but afterwardG3326G3778 he saidG3004 to himselfG1438, ‘EvenG2532 thoughG1487 I do not fearG5399 GodG2316 norG3761 5respectG1788 manG444,
5yetG1065 6becauseG1223 thisG3778 widowG5503 bothersG3930G2873 me, I will 7giveG1556 her legalG1556 protectionG1556, otherwiseG2443G3361 by continuallyG1519G5056 comingG2064 she will 89wearG5299 me out.’”
6And 10the LordG2962 saidG3004, “HearG191 whatG5101 the unrighteousG93 judgeG2923 saidG3004;
7nowG1161, will not GodG2316 11bringG4160 aboutG4160 justiceG1557 for His 12electG1588 who cryG994 to Him dayG2250 and nightG3571, 13and will He 14delayG3114 longG3114 overG1909 them?
