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