Luke 18: 1 - 8
|
| 1
|
And he told them a parable, to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart.
|
| 2
|
He said, "In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor regarded man;
|
| 3
|
and there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, `Vindicate me against my adversary.'
|
| 4
|
For a while he refused; but afterward he said to himself, `Though I neither fear God nor regard man,
|
| 5
|
yet because this widow bothers me, I will vindicate her, or she will wear me out by her continual coming.'"
|
| 6
|
And the Lord said, "Hear what the unrighteous judge says.
|
| 7
|
And will not God vindicate his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them?
|
| 8
|
I tell you, he will vindicate them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of man comes, will he find faith on earth?"
