Luke 18:1-8
1Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they 1ought to pray and not 2become discouraged, 2saying, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not fear God and did not 3respect any person. 3Now there was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, ‘Give me justice against my 4opponent.’ 4For a while he was unwilling; but later he said to himself, ‘Even though I do not fear God nor 5respect any person, 5yet 6because this widow is bothering me, I will give her justice; otherwise 7by continually coming she will 8wear me out.’” 6And 9the Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge said; 7now, will God not 10bring about justice for His 11elect who cry out to Him day 12and night, and will He 13delay long for them? 8I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, 14will He find 15faith on the earth?”
