3NowG1161 there was a widowG5503 in that cityG4172, and she kept comingG2064 to him, sayingG3004, ‘GiveG1556 me justiceG1556 againstG575 my 1opponentG476.’ 4For a whileG5550 he was unwillingG3756G2309; but laterG3326G3778 he saidG3004 to himselfG1438, ‘EvenG2532 thoughG1487 I do not fearG5399 GodG2316 norG3761 2respectG1788 any personG444, 5yetG1065 3becauseG1223 thisG3778 widowG5503 is botheringG3930G2873 me, I will giveG1556 her justiceG1556; otherwiseG2443G3361 4by continuallyG1519G5056 comingG2064 she will 5wearG5299 me outG5299.’” 6And 6the LordG2962 saidG3004, “ListenG191 to whatG5101 the unrighteousG93 judgeG2923 saidG3004; 7nowG1161, will GodG2316 not 7bringG4160 aboutG4160 justiceG1557 for His 8electG1588 who cryG994 outG994 to Him dayG2250 9and nightG3571, and will He 10delayG3114 longG3114 for them? 8I tellG3004 you that He will bringG4160 aboutG4160 justiceG1557 for them quicklyG5034. HoweverG4133, when the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064, 11will He findG2147 12faithG4102 on the earthG1093?”
